Shorebirds can be a confusing group of birds to learn to identify. When faced with mudflats with thousands of brownish-gray birds, it can be challenging to know where to begin. In this program the focus will be on learning techniques you can use to identify shorebirds rather than emphasizing only key field marks for each species (although we’ll cover a few of those too!).

The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz invites community scientists from across North America to come together with the shared goal of helping to protect and conserve the beloved and emblematic monarch butterfly. In 2023, 1,789 volunteers monitored more than 40,000 milkweed stems and reported 13,000 monarch sightings in support of trinational efforts to better understand the monarch butterfly’s breeding productivity, range, and timing in North America.
Join Wyncote Audubon and Wissahickon Trails for this midsummer field trip to Bombay Hook. Our field trip leaders Margaret Rohde and Kristy Morley will lead our search for migrating shorebirds throughout the refuge's many pools, mud flats, and marshy areas, and will also check out some of the wooded trails in search of songbirds.
