Nature journaling is a great way to build observational skills, connect with the natural beauty around us, and enjoy making images, words, and numbers in the company of community. All faculty, staff, and students are invited!

Session description

Fieldwork is crucial for producing accurate scientific illustrations, as it allows you to observe and understand a bird’s characteristics, shapes, and behaviors firsthand. In this session, I will share my approach to sketching birds in their natural habitat. I will also discuss the use of digiscoping and its benefits in capturing detailed observations.
