Every spring hundreds of species of birds migrate through the Delaware Valley region. These birds come from great distances to appear briefly in our area on their journey further north to nest. This class will teach how to appreciate and identify them using the system of distinctive physical characteristics referred to as field marks, as well as their behaviors. We’ll also look at bird song, which is a key means of identifying species, as in the field you can hear more than you can see. Finally, we’ll learn to identify the many butterflies and dragonflies that emerge at this season in our area.
