It’s that time of year when sparrows and finches can present beginning to mid-level birders with some of their most difficult ID challenges. Feeling that way about yourself? You’re invited to join one (or both) of our field tutorials for an introduction to the most common sparrows and finches in our region during this season. Tips for recognizing plumage, voice, habitat preferences and more will be shared by our teacher-leader teams. To help you prepare for the walks, leader Mike Bowen will present an optional illustrated photo & vocalization lecture at our Woodend Sanctuary. Registration for the lecture is separate from the walks. These walks will be on mostly-level, natural surface trails which may be uneven, muddy, and/or somewhat slippery. REGISTER
