OLC's First Saturday 5/7 at SMP - Bird ID List


OLC teamed up with Audubon New York educator Larry Federman for “Birding 101 – Basic Birding Techniques,” a guided walk through prime bird habitat, including an upland cedar grove and the Great Swamp floodplain.

It was the height of migratory bird season, and the walk focused on learning bird identification by sight and sound. Larry is an accomplished photographer and enjoys sharing his techniques.
