Increase Your Birding Knowledge

July 07, 2003

Make your next nature walk an exploration of birds. The public is invited to the first week of the Nature Nights speaker series on Monday, July 7, when Bill Tefft, the "Bird Man," will share his tips and passion for birding. The event, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7 p.m. at the International Wolf Center Auditorium.

"You'll discover it's no harder to become a good birder than to become a good golfer," states Tefft. Learn what birds to look for, as well as where to look. Tefft hosts the Saturday night radio show, "Birding with Bill," on Ely radio station WELY and is a Vermilion Community College professor. Whether in the classroom or on the air, he is always excited to share his vast knowledge of birding.

Nature Nights is a speaker series sponsored by the International Wolf Center, the Dorothy Molter Museum, Listening Point Foundation, and the North American Bear Center. The series begins at 7 p.m. every Monday night at the International Wolf Center, just east of Ely, Minnesota on Hwy. 169. For more information, contact the Center at 218-365-4695, ext. 23.
