Identification of Wood Warblers by Sight and Sound

The purpose of this class is for participants to become familiar with the rich diversity of wood warblers found in the southern Blue Ridge, with an emphasis on breeding male plumage and song.  (While female identification will be mentioned to some extent, female plumages can be a class to itself. The same is the case for non-breeding plumaged birds).  Class presentations will cover visual and song identification of all eastern NA species of wood warblers.  We will visit as many sites/breeding habitats as possible, and the class will include discussions of species whose songs sound similar as well as examining song variation exhibited by many species.
