BIRDING DIDN'T COME EASILY TO MEÂ
…After years of floundering, I developed a way to learn that felt simple and natural!
Kristi Dranginis - Founder of Bird Mentor
Â
Kristi's courses help people worldwide build confidence learning about birds and the natural world through an innovative approach.
Students are immersed in the principles of instinctive birding, deep nature connection, bird language, and Kristi’s transformational model for advanced bird identification.
In addition to her 8-month masters course, Advanced Skills for Beginning Birders, and her bird song identification course, featured in the Audubon Magazine, Kristi is also the founder of The Roost ~ A Bird Lovers Community.
Kristi has banded the Roseate & Common Terns, as well as song birds and hummingbirds. Kristi is also a professional speaker and travels internationally to present workshops about her transformative approach to learning birds.
In addition to geeking out about birds, Kristi is a Naturalist, Herbalist, Photographer and has contributed to the new Peterson’s Field Guide to Bird Nests and ABA’s Birder’s Guide.Â
After 20 years of field testing and improving this approach, I developed this easy-to-use, 7-question system that makes learning birds instinctive, approachable and fun!
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.”
Bruce
- Emergency Room Tech, Siren WI
"...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."
Elyse K.
- Dentist, Durango CO
"...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."
Carolyn M.
- Ottawa, Canada
“...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.”
Dwight F.
- Accountant
"...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!"
