Workshop: Warblers 101

Join us for a two-part workshop to learn how to identify spring migratory warblers as they return to Riverwood!

On Monday, May 5, attend an indoor Warbler 101 presentation and workshop at Chappell House, where you’ll learn to recognize warblers through visual cues and their unique songs. This will help you improve your overall bird identification skills. After the presentation, we’ll test your knowledge with a fun visual and auditory quiz on warblers.

Then, on Friday, May 9, join us for a 3-hour outdoor birding tour on Riverwood’s trails, where you can put your new skills to the test and observe warblers in their natural habitat.
