Join Cape May Bird Observatory’s Program Coordinator, Adehl Schwaderer, to learn the basics of bird identification. If you are just getting into birding or want to see if it’s a hobby you’d like to try, this is the presentation for you! We’ll be reviewing what details to focus on when identifying birds, where to go to find birds, how to use binoculars, as well as some common species you can see all winter long!
