Zoom Meeting
Speakers: Matt Valencic and Kelly Stanek
Title: Warbler Warm-Up
The zoom presentation on Warblers will give a comprehensive review since we only see them for a short time. We forget how to quickly identify them, but this presentation will refresh your memory and prepare you for the spring migration. This presentation will help group birds by appearance and preferred habitat, as we all need a refresher course in warblers.
