Member Webinar and Field Trip: The Art and Craft of Shorebird Identification with Lisa Schibley

Shorebirds are among the most fascinating and diverse groups of birds, but identifying them can sometimes feel overwhelming.  What key field marks, behaviors, habitat, range, and timing can help? How can shorebird migration patterns and seasonal plumage help?

This webinar will provide practical tips and techniques to sharpen your shorebirding skills. The BBC is also hosting a limited participation field trip to practice the skills you learn during the webinar.

The webinar will occur on Wednesday, August 13 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM.

The field trip will occur on Thursday, August 14 from 3:00 to 5:30 PM in Plymouth. The meeting place will be shared with registrants.
