Introduction to Bird Identification

Larry Federman, a local bird expert, and former Greene Land Trust Board member, will lead a morning bird walk at the Mawignack Preserve on Sunday, June 8th at 7:30 am.

We hope to see colorful songbirds that have returned from the Neotropics for the nesting season (gnatcatchers, warblers, orioles, and tanagers), as well as some of our familiar year-round favorites (Eastern Bluebird, Waxwings, Bald Eagle) – in addition to woodland wildflowers, trees in flower, and whatever else crosses our path. Participants will be introduced to bird identification techniques, field guides and apps. If you own binoculars, please bring them. For those that don’t, we will have binoculars available for you to use during the walk.

The event is limited to 20 participants ages 8 and up.
