Identification of Shorebirds with a Focus on Calidris - Livestream

The shorebirds are always an exciting yet vexing group for birders. Join us for a talk by Jon Dunn and Lara Tseng to learn about identification of a subset of, certain Calidris sandpipers of the families in this group. In addition to identification, other important aspects will be covered, like plumages, structure, molts, behavior, status and distribution, and how to look at and study shorebirds. Learning shorebirds requires some memorization but more importantly patience, a love, and understanding of the many varied species in these families.
