May 22: Sparrow Identification and Black Birders Week
White-throated Sparrow, Martin Nkosi
When: Thursday, May 22, 7:00 - 8:00 PM Where: Virtual Fee: FREE, but registration is required
Whether you are a casual hiker or a seasoned birder, you will encounter sparrows almost everywhere you go. Learn to tell them apart and some strategies to identify them in this free webinar. Sparrows are sometimes dismissed because they are difficult to tell one species from the other, but these special birds are worth an extra look! Whether it's the familiar call of "Old-Sam-Peabody-Peabody-Peabody” from the White-throated sparrow, the rusty-red cap of the Chipping sparrow, or the pretty pink beak of the Field Sparrow, each species has something distinctive about it. Come learn more about sparrows and enjoy beautiful photography by Martin Nkosi and other talented black birders and photographers.
This program is inspired by and celebrates Black Birders Week (May 25-31), a campaign by BlackAFinStem focused on equitable access to nature, empowerment and representation, environmental justice and advocacy. Free! Register here.
