Home Study Course
For the more serious student, the Cornell Home Study Course provides a great learning experience. The course includes the Handbook of Bird Biology, a CD, and access to Cornell staff as you progress.
The course is produced at an introductory college level and includes
all topics in basic ornithology. However, it is suitable for anyone
with an inquiring mind and a serious interest in birds.
Visit the Home Study Course web site for details.
(Editors note: The course includes the Handbook of Bird Biology,
a great book that is more than the name implies. Topics
such as bird migration and feather coloration are presented in a
thorough but very readable and enjoyable manner. The book
itself is a great resource and a valuable addition to anyone's
ornithological library. We use it as one of our basic resources for
information on this Web site.)
