Head out on a guided hike through the Blue Hills to discover the often-overlooked stars of the bird world, females. Learn how to spot them by their plumage, behaviors, and nesting habits, and explore how they differ from their flashier male counterparts. Along the trail, uncover why female birds play such an important role in nature and in ongoing conservation efforts. This eye-opening adventure invites you to look closely, listen more carefully, and appreciate the quiet power of these remarkable birds.
