Spring is here, and it isn't just wildflowers providing a splash of color outside! The annual arrival of colorful birds called wood-warblers -- some staying for the summer, others only passing through -- can be one of the most dazzling sights in the world of birdwatching in the Berkshires. If you've always wanted to learn how to identify warblers but are overwhelmed by the sheer number and variety of species, this beginner-friendly workshop and bird walk could be a great way to kickstart your learning.
The first half of the program is an indoor introduction to the warblers of the Berkshires. Besides a who's-who of local species, this class will include information about warbler habitats to help you find these birds more consistently. You'll learn why warblers aren't just fun to add to a checklist -- they provide great opportunities to see fascinating bird behavior.
After the indoor portion, we will go outside and search for warblers (and enjoy other birds). This program focuses on identifying warblers by appearance, habitat, behavior and song.
