- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 02:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Many experienced birders will say that 90% of their birding is done “by ear.” Often, sounds are our first clue to the presence of birds, and sometimes these sounds are critical to bird identification. This presentation by Geoff Williamson, chair of the Illinois Ornithological Records Committee, will describe basic concepts in bird vocalizations and provide organizing principles for learning to bird by ear. Geoff will discuss the many resources available to acquire or improve your ear-birding skills.
