“Pleased to Meetcha!” Identifying Spring Birds by Ear @ Heller Nature Center | Highland Park | Illinois | United States

6:15 pm (NOTE TIME CHANGE – WOODCOCK WALK FOLLOWING THE PROGRAM)

Birding by ear is an essential skill for bird identification, especially during the spring when birds sing to signal that they are looking for mates. David Rupp, Owner/Guide of IndiGo Birding Nature Tours, will help us sharpen our skills in this interactive program that uses mnemonics and other strategies to help us learn to identify birds by ear. The program will be immediately followed by a walk at Heller Nature Center to see American Woodcock doing their aerial flight displays at dusk. Bring binoculars for woodcock watching!
