The Swainson's Thrushes have arrived! Who, you say? Then this easy introduction into the world of songbirds is for you! Let's say you've been going to Lunch with the Birds weekly, you've come on Morning Bird Song Walks, and you're still unsure about the difference between thrushes, tanagers and buntings. Put down your binoculars for a spell and get some basic information to help you make sense of the field marks and behaviors you see. Take an optional bird walk after the class.
