EVENT - Little Brown Birds of Port Moody (Webinar)

Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2023 
Time: 6:00pm-7:30pm
Location: Online

Do little brown birds perplex you? Do they all look alike as they hop around on the ground? Aren't they all some kind of sparrow or wren? If this sounds like you, join the City of Port Moody and longtime birder Laura Wittemore for this FREE webinar to learn how to use field marks, behaviour and voice to figure out who's who. Little brown birds can be challenging to identify, but they won't look the same to you after this class! This webinar will be hosted online and is open to all ages and birders of all levels! Webinar link will be emailed to you a week prior. 

Free event. Advanced registration required. Register here!
