Real Stories from Real Students
"...This course is the perfect companion to improving your grasp of bird identification.It is well written, easy to follow, and makes the complicated process of bird identification seem really simple.”

"...I wish I had this course when I was first learning about birds. Regardless, as an experienced, yet novice birder, I am getting a ton out of it with its fun writing style and practical activities that reinforce what is being learned.”
Ron
- Environmental Scientist/Biologist,Gilbert, AZ
"...Your course taught me how to learn about birds, not just bird facts. My life is richer for having taken the course."

"...I loved your 8-day course. I have been birding for 20 years and wish I'd had this approach from the get go! Thanks."

“...Birding is a learned skill. Carrying a field guide around in your back pocket and looking up markings on your smartphone will not make you a birder. Becoming a birder is like learning to play the piano. You need to learn the fundamentals. You need to learn what to look for. Like the shape of the bill, the extent of the eye ring, the length and shape of the tail feathers, etc.To make any progress at all, you need to find a top notch teacher with a carefully designed study plan. I have met a number of expert birders and none of them bring the same meticulous system of observation and study to the art of birding as Kristi does.”

"...I made notes in my journal about bird behavior I had never noticed before. Taking the time to quiet my mind and keep myself from getting into listing/counting mode was really refreshing. I also had a very close encounter with an Orange-crowned Warbler that was just awesome!
Thank you for this exercise!!! Yay!"
Lynda E.

"... I thank Kristi's courses for really developing my love of my Sit Spot. After the fancy warblers move on I look forward to the winter arrival of White Throated Sparrows and Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers. I am just so grateful for what I now pay attention to in my yard and neighborhood. 😄"
