Virtual Class by the Hoyt Arboretum: Little Brown Birds

Do you think all those little brown birds (LBBs) are hard to tell apart? Attend this online workshop to learn all you need to know about who those LBBs are, where to find them, and how to attract (some of) them to your yard. You’ll even learn about the fledglings of several local species that look nothing like their parents to make identification even more confusing. Held by the Hoyt Arboretum.
