Learn all about birds of the Northeast and how to identify many of the amazing birds that inhabit the forests, fields and ponds around us. Join Ben Nickley of Berkshire Bird Observatory for a short but lively presentation followed by a walk on the grounds to gain a deeper understanding, greater connection and appreciation for the natural world through the gateway of bird watching.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORBen Nickley is a scientist with a passion for birds and the ecosystems they are an integral part of. Always fascinated by nature, he got his start in science at Ohio State University where his research was recognized with an award at the Denman Undergraduate Research Forum.  Since then, Ben has travelled across North America pursuing bird field studies for nonprofits, universities, and state governments—picking up his master’s in biology along the way. He is the author of several peer-reviewed articles and has presented his work at international conferences.  Helping others connect with the natural world through birds is his forte and central to his mission.  His role as Executive Director is to oversee the day-to-day operations of Berkshire Bird Observatory and steer its development.  Ben feels privileged to have landed in the Berkshires and could not think of a better place to do the work he loves.
