Webinar: Finding and Observing Female Birds
Tuesday, June 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
What does a female bird look like? Some of the best ways to tell female birds apart from male birds are the tiny – or sometimes big – nuances in breeding behaviors. From nest building to chick care, females of different feathered species will drop clues, as long as birders know when and where to observe. This hour-long online class will cover patterns in Massachusetts staple breeding birds and help you think of birding in a completely new light. A follow-up field walk will be held on June 23rd, with specific time and location to be determined (note this walk will be reserved for the first 20 BBC members who sign up).
