When: Thursday, January 27, 2022, 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Where: Virtual!
Fee: FREE, but registration is required

Join Greg Butcher, ASNV board member and migratory species coordinator for US Forest Service International Programs, for an introduction to waterfowl identification. Get to know many of the species that winter in the open waters of our region. You’ll learn how to tell a Bufflehead from a Hooded Merganser, and, with luck, you will see the beautiful Tundra Swans that winter in our area. Strategies will include identification by shape and color pattern. 

After the presentation we’ll test your identification skills with a Kahoot!

This event will be helpful for those participating in the Winter Waterfowl Count on Feb 5-6 but is open to anyone who would like to know how to identify winter waterfowl!

There is a small field trip with limited attendance due to covid, but we encourage you to do your own independent field trips to go see winter waterfowl! Some good locations to see waterfowl in VA are Huntley Meadows, Dyke Marsh and Mason Neck State Park.

This event is FREE, but registration is required.
