If you’ve spent time identifying waterfowl, you’ve probably encountered the occasional, unusual bird that was hard to identify. Naming those odd ducks can be an exciting challenge!

That’s why we hope you’ll join us for an upcoming, hour-long online class that dives into the details of tricky waterfowl ID.

Odd Ducks and Wandering Waterfowl ID

An upcoming online workshop you won’t want to miss!

November 19, 7:00 p.m. EST / 4:00 p.m. PST

 

Led by instructor Kevin McGowan, we’ll take a look at the more unusual ducks and geese you might encounter this season in the U.S. and Canada. We’ll show you how to identify exciting winter waterfowl visitors that occasionally blow in from far flung places. We’ll also analyze photographs of a few hybrid ducks and deduce their parentage by picking apart their mixed characteristics. It’s sure to be a lot of fun! Space is limited, so reserve your seat today.
