LAURA WHITTEMORE
Little brown birds in your yard and in the wild can be challenging to identify, but if you know what field marks, behavior, and habitat preferences to pay attention to, suddenly they don't all look alike! Join us to learn about resident brown birds like Song Sparrow, House Finch, and Bewick's Wren, get to know seasonal visitors like Swainson’s Thrush, and even try your hand at identifying confusing fledglings. Brown birds won't look the same to you after this class!
