"Not only will the leaders show you all the birds you've come to see, but they will teach you all the skills to find them again on your own. Priceless!", says Vicky DiRe of Ellenville, NY about the Winter Workshop for Owls, Hawks, Eagles & Waterfowl.
"I and my friend Jamie had such a fine exquisite time - all informing to the mind, ear and spirit...I don't think I can hear a Veery too many times. Don (Freiday) and Mark (Garland) are most excellent in their direction, explanation, anticipation and patience. Very well organized and considerate. I look forward to the fall class," from Nan Becker of Newton, NJ and her 2009 Birding by Ear North Workshop.
"I am still gushing over what a great time I had. Loved meeting and getting to know other class participants and the instructors, who were so accessible," says Pam Higginbotham of Atlanta, GA
who attended the Raptor Migration Workshop.
"CMBO workshops...hours of deep satisfaction, punctuated by spikes of pure joy," is what keeps Hank O'Brien of Summit, NJ coming to several of CMBO's workshops.
"I wanted to let you know that this class has changed the way I listen to birds forever. Of course, I don't recognize everything but you've raised my consciousness to listen to what is out there in a different way," says Jayne Rynhard about Advanced Birding by Ear.
"We are taking this one again next year," from Rae O'Brien of Portsmouth, NH who's attended many workshops.
