Once again, Strawberry Plains Audubon Center (SPAC) is partnering with Delta
Wind Birds (DWB) for our Winter Sparrow & Grassland Birding Workshop. Starting
at 9 am with an indoor presentation at our Visitor's Center, we'll review key
identification points for sparrows regularly wintering in our area; study
recordings to learn and review the most important vocalizations used by
sparrows in Mississippi in winter; and receive a take home quick ID guide for
later use.

We'll then head to the restored grasslands of SPAC, an excellent sparrowing
location, where we'll put our knowledge into action and practice what we've
discussed. We expect to find 7+ sparrow species, including the beautiful and
elusive LeConte's Sparrow, which is regular at this site. We'll also take time
to study and appreciate other common bird species wintering in these grassland
habitats. After warming up with a homemade lunch at SPAC, we'll finish with an
optional early-afternoon field trip to a unique, restored habitat: the
MDOT/SPAC mitigation property at the headwaters of the Coldwater River, which
includes some nice native grasslands (full of sparrows and other birds) and a
blind for wildlife observation.

Registration is required at:
