Description
Male songbirds sport their brightest plumage and finest song in the spring. Usually inconspicuous, quiet, and difficult to see, in spring their characteristic songs will often identify the bird or at least help pinpoint its location. We'll begin with a short introduction to songbirds and their vocalizations, listen to some songs we are likely to hear, and then venture outdoors to "bird" with our ears first, then our eyes.
Bring binoculars or borrow a pair of ours if you do not have your own.
