Springtime is the time of migration and the largest variety of full plumage birds are most likely to be encountered.  As we move into late spring / early summer, migrants have moved to their nesting grounds and pair off for the nesting period.  Visual ID becomes much more difficult as the foliage often completely obscures birds, but their habits and audible clues still allow identification and enjoyment.

Students can expect to be guided through the natural area of the Avon Hills Folk School and get an introduction to bird identification, habitat and activity.  Bird identification will be through both visual [shape / color / behavior] and audio [calls / songs / behavior] means.  

Recommended:

Head net and/or bug repellent, binoculars
