Spring days bring wonderful surprises for bird watchers. Nearly every day, new birds arrive, often species that weren't here the day before. Some of the birds are showing to breed in central Maine, but many are only stopping off on their way north. The numbers and the brevity of their visits can make identifying spring migrant birds feel overwhelming. This beginner class will concentrate on identifying the most common migrants by sight and by sound. In addition to suggestions for places to look for migrants, there will be an option for an outing together. Limit 20 students.
