LAURA WHITTEMORE
Waterfowl means more than mallards and Canada geese! Many species of ducks, geese, and swans are on their way south from their tundra nesting grounds, and soon our lakes and ponds will be full of easy-to-confuse species. This class will introduce you to the resident and wintering species we'll encounter in the inland Pacific Northwest and teach you how to tell them apart by behavior, habitat, and the location of white on their bodies.
