Alison Kondler of BirdingByEar.com will be our keynote speaker in 2023! Presentation title: Birds Heard In Words. Alison will take you through her mnemonic-based learning techniques to help you build brain-bridges from the bird’s sound to your memory. You do not need to be a musician to learn birdsong. This presentation is for all learning styles, where you can gain insight on how to visualize, add emotion, create stories, and remember the bird sounds with creative and humorous techniques that are unforgettable.
Alison is a Denver Audubon Master Birder and Mentor, naturalist, and former comedian/actress whose life passion is to help others become aware of birds and the multitude of sounds they produce. Working with her comedic and stage background she created a Bird Sound ID course using mnemonic-based techniques in 2010. You can currently find Alison on many social media platforms filming, editing, and animating original bird themed videos that are informative, inspiring, and peaceful.
