How many times have you been frustrated because you saw a warbler near the top of a tree and got such a poor look at the head and wings that you couldn’t identify it?

But you probably got good views of the underside of the bird----the throat, the breast, the belly, and especially, the under-tail coverts and the tail.  Many birders concentrate on a warbler’s head pattern for identification.  And it IS important in most cases.  But many don’t realize that the tail area of warblers can be a big help with identifying them, as I will hope to show you during this program.

Hope you can join us as LVAS’s Dave DeReamus gets us prepared for our Spring Birding Outings!

07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join us to kick-off Spring 2025 by discovering some of the bee-utiful bees that are in our yards, gardens, and local wild places!

Pennsylvania has as many species of bees as birds, but they're easy to miss until you know what to look for!

You'll learn:

• how and why bees gather pollen yet unwittingly pollinate plants in the process.

• and discover that some insects you think are bees are imitators.

• easy ways to support native bees.

Karen Campbell authors Bugs for Birds for our quarterly Osprey newsletter. She's an award-winning macro photographer, Certified Pollinator Steward, and is completing her qualifications as a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist.
