The Friends of Supawna Meadows hosted a fun weekend of winter birding the weekend of February 18 and 19. Naturalist David Lord presented "Winter Birding Sampler" to a group of interested bird watchers at the Friends Village in Woodstown.
David's presentation focused on how to identify common birds that are sighted during the winter in our area including smaller birds like the Dark eyed Junco and Fox Sparrow to larger birds such as the Bald Eagle and Great Horned Owl. Many of the photographs in the presentation were the work of local bird enthusiasts.
Saturday morning at 8 AM, about 20 birders braved the cold and walked the Grassland Trail at Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge with David identifying 21 species including American Black Ducks, Northern Pin tail Ducks, Bald Eagles, Northern Harriers, Northern Flicker, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and an assortment of other local winter birds.
Thanks to David Lord for an entertaining and informative presentation! And thanks to the Friends Village in Woodstown for the use of their auditorium.
