The Better Birding schedule is a "living document." We've changed the November workshop to one of Bryan's classic digital photography sessions. You'll understand the dials, buttons and menus on your point-and-shoot or SLR camera. You and your camera will collaborate for the best shots possible. This popular workshop is funny and informative. Bring your camera and CHARGE THE BATTERIES.
They are some of the classic challenges in bird identification: Common Goldeneye or Barrow's Goldeneye? Snow Goose or Ross's Goose? Common Loon or Pacific Loon? Female Blue-winged Teal or female Green-winged Teal? Fish Crow or American Crow? Pewee or Empidonax? Fall Chipping Sparrow or Clay-colored Sparrow? You'll learn a dozen or so dastardly duos and how to sort them out before you find them in the field.
