From Wing Bars to Eye Rings:

The Basics of Bird ID

with Craig Hensley

 

Join Naturalist and Environmental Educator Craig Hensley for an evening of birding basics. Whether you are a beginner or a more seasoned birder, you'll learn how to go about figuring out who's who among our feathered friends. He'll cover the 7 Basics of Identification and then provide insights and clues on sharpening your bird identification skills just in time for the spring migration. He'll even challenge you with a fun Bird I.D. quiz to test what you've learned.

Hensley is a long-time Naturalist and Environmental Educator. For nearly 30 years he has brought people and the natural world together, whether leading more than 50 birding trips to see the Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River of central Nebraska or watching the fall hawk migration along the North Shore of Lake Superior, to teaching innumerable classes on birds, butterflies, wildflowers and many other natural history topics.

Warbler Woods Bird Sanctuary

Warbler Woods founders and owners Don and Susan Schaezler introduce us to this 124 acre sanctuary at the convergence of three ecological regions northeast of San Antonio. The Schaezlers have preserved and enhanced a diverse habitat--home to over 280 species of plants! Some 40 warbler species and 250 species of birds have visited the Sanctuary. Butterflies, dragonflies, and archaelogy count among their interests. The Schaezlers share not only their knowledge and passion for the natural world, but also their home—the Warbler Woods Bird Sanctuary—with a field trip the following Sunday. For more information on Warbler Woods visit:  www.warblerwoods.com.
