Spring warblers are some of the most exciting birds to see, but can be difficult to locate, observe and identify for newer (and even experienced) birders. Join us for a talk on the art of ‘warblering’: you will learn where and when to look, which warblers you are likely to see and their distinctive field marks and behavior to help you find these elusive birds.

Matt Felperin is a DC area local, raised in Takoma Park, MD. He is the Roving Naturalist with NOVA Parks, the regional park system of Northern Virginia. As the Roving Naturalist, Matt leads environmental education and recreation programs such as bird walks and kayak tours for the public. Matt has always been drawn to nature, and has been sharing his findings with anyone within earshot since his days as a small child looking for salamanders and crayfish in nearby Sligo Creek. He truly treasures the Chesapeake Bay and has enjoyed field work and naturalist programs in several types of habitat within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. He credits working under naturalist Greg Kearns for sparking his love of birds. He views his wildlife photography work, which is phenomenal, as one of the most useful tools to connect people with nature. You can view his latest work here.
