Description
Sparrows and other "little brown jobs" (LBJs) can be confusing to many birders. Together we'll work on sparrow identification and clear up some of the confusion, as we study individual birds to distinguish characteristic field marks of various species. We'll travel by van and carpool to visit several locations that are known for locating a diversity of sparrows and other LBJs.

Instructions
Meet at Joppa Flats Education Center. From there we will travel by Mass Audubon vans and carpool.
Mass Audubon and the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge encourage carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles inside the refuge. Our program passes cover our vans and carpooling, but not individual one-person vehicles within the caravan. Participants who choose not to carpool by driving without at least one passenger will be asked to cover the $5 fee at our front desk during registration. Thank you for helping to reduce the impact of vehicular traffic at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
Bring binoculars, a field guide to birds, and a scope if you have one. Wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather and terrain. Participants should expect to walk trails with moderate terrain changes at a slow pace, for a mile or more.
