Winter Waterfowl Workshop

The excitement of fall migration might be winding down, but winter birding offers an excitement of its own: excellent opportunities for up close looks at waterfowl in their vibrant breeding plumage. Join Naturalist Tait Johansson for our Winter Waterfowl Workshop and learn how to get the most out of winter birding. The program begins at Bylane Farm with an interactive, informational session introducing you to the key features used to identify waterfowl. The workshop will cover how to recognize species by shape, color patterns, behavior, and habitat, and will also touch on natural history. The second part of the program takes place at Edith Read Sanctuary, where you will put your new skills into practice in the field. Guided by Tait, the group will observe and identify waterfowl in their natural habitats. We’ll be on the lookout for Hooded and Red-breasted Merganser, Greater and Lesser Scaup, Brant, Ruddy Duck, Bufflehead and others.

Wednesday, December 10, 8:00am-1:00pm. Cost: $25 (Members); $35 (Non-members). Location: Bylane Farm and Edith Read Sanctuary. This workshop is limited to 8 participants.
