Birding Workshop: Warblers By Ear

When the leaves return, the small, colorful birds known as wood-warblers can be surprisingly difficult to see. Learning to recognize warbler songs is an excellent way to locate and enjoy these energetic little birds, even in dense forest.

Indoors, break down the general approach to warbler song identification and introduce you to several species found in a variety of local habitats, from the edges of wetlands to the top of Mount Greylock. Then go out for a walk to practice our skills. Trail distance covered during the bird walk could vary significantly depending on how many birds we see. This program will cover up to 1.7 miles on a wide, gravel-paved trail. The trail surface is largely flat with a few gentle inclines. The trail surface could be wet or muddy depending on recent weather.

This program is designed for beginner and intermediate birdwatchers who want to jump into the world of “birding by ear” by focusing on a specific group of birds.
