Do sparrows confuse you? You're not alone. With their strikingly similar appearances, sparrows can be tricky to identify — even for seasoned birders. Fear not - Naturalist Tait Johansson can help you distinguish these "little brown jobs" from one another in this two-part Sparrow Identification Workshop and Field Trip. In the first part, Tait will provide information on how to identify these underappreciated birds, from field markings, behaviors, and vocalizations; in the second part, we’ll take a field trip to Allen’s Meadows Park in Wilton, CT, a sparrow “hot spot," to practice identifying them in the field. We'll be on the lookout for Vesper Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Lincoln’s Sparrow, and others
Saturday, October 18, 7:00am-11:30am. Cost: $25 members, $35 non-members. Level of Difficulty: Easy. Register here: https://bedfordaudubon.org/workshops/ or email Susan for more information: [email protected]
