On Friday September 4th, Beth El will host an informational and how-to Zoom class on birding.  This birding 101 class will be held at 2:00 pm and will be led by retired environmentalist, and outdoor recreation professional, Vern Gersh.  There has been interest from several Beth El members to host a birding class as it can be done at a safe distance.  Birding is completely different and unique that Beth El can offer to help us find a different kind of fun and some spiritual peace when so many of us have been quarantine for so long.   

“The sport of birding is low cost, good for the soul & body, and is surpassing other popular sports like soccer and basketball in terms of popularity” according to Vern.  Vern has devoted his professional career to outdoor therapeutic programming, nature conservation programming at local nature centers and national parks in Minnesota, California and Colorado.  Throughout his travels, he has remained a vigilant birder since the mid 1980’s.  Vern got his start with birding by teaching a bird photography class.  “I love it- it’s great to get some exercise and you learn to be patient and observant- it gives you great rewards in the long run.”

According to Vern, there are many Audubon society and groups to connect with, and are stocked with helpful resources.  “I am looking forward to sharing a thing or two with the fine folks from Omaha!”
