Yes, eventually the snow and ice will be gone, Songbirds will fill the air and
charm our ears, and there will be Spring!
The February Northern Neck Audubon Society meeting on February. 5, Monday, 3:15
pm, at Lancaster Library - Upper Meeting Room will provide “virtual
springtime” (and warmth). Jeff Wright will lead an interactive presentation on
how to identify and attract songbirds. The session is timely as it will focus
on birds that we might see in our yards during the Great Back Yard Bird Count
from 16-19 February 2018. The aptly named songbirds provide the chirps, songs,
and occasional “racket” that fill our yards and forests - particularly in the
Spring.
Various tools, techniques, and diabolical quizzes will be included in the
session to help identify these birds both by hearing them as well as seeing
them. The presentation will include High Definition photos and videos of
songbirds.
Wrestling with learning to identify selected thrushes, wrens, finches, orioles,
sparrows, grosbeaks, and mimic thrushes on a February day will hopefully speed
up the arrival of spring. Within this group of soulful songsters are hundreds
of songbird repertoires to listen to, learn to love, and use to hone bird
identification skills.
Refreshments will be served.
