SUMMARY:Winter Sparrow Workshop
DESCRIPTION:** This event will be held over Zoom **\nGet ready for winter by brushing up on sparrow identification! \nEvery season brings its own challenges for birdwatching. In winter\, similar-looking sparrows can be hard to tell apart and birding by ear becomes more difficult as birds sing less and call more. Join expert birder Nick Newberry and Executive Director Bert Harris to learn some tips for identifying winter sparrows. Nick and Bert will walk you through the field marks of each species and use their years of birding experience to help you learn how to identify sparrows.  Then in the second section of the program Nick and Bert will show sparrow photos to help you practice and test your new skills. This program is intended for beginning and intermediate birders. We will send a Zoom link closer to the date. \nCost:  $10 ($8 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \n\n\nAge: All ages. \n\n\nRegistration is REQUIRED. \n\n\nCancellation policy: If you register and can no longer attend this event\, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can open your spot to someone else. No refunds will be given upon registrant cancellation.
