Aton Forest Presents: Birding by Ear
Free Event, Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 7:00 am at Aton Forest Headquarters, 270 North Colebrook Road.
Join Fran Zygmont, the bird whisperer, at Aton Forest, Norfolk, CT for a birding-by-ear workshop.
Learn how to identify birds by their songs. Aton Forest is home to several species that breeding exclusively in northern CT: Winter Wren, Ruffed Grouse, Hermit Thrush, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. Common Loon and Sandhill Crane have also been seen and heard in the area.
A brief lecture starts the program, then venture into the field for identification opportunities. Ear birding is an important skill to have when birds are located in leafed, wooded areas where a visual identification is difficult.
