November 12th Meeting, 7:00 pm – In Person and Via Zoom: Sparrows of DuPage County – The Little Brown Birds Every Birder Loves to Hate
Presenters: Denis Kania and Joe Suchecki
The November program will feature two of our best known club members, Denis Kania and Joe Suchecki, in a program about identification of those little brown birds that many birders simply ignore because they all look alike and are too hard to identify. Sparrows can indeed appear to be superficially similar, but Denis and Joe will demonstrate that the key characteristics of plumage, unfeathered body parts, call notes, and songs used to ID other bird groups work just as well with the sparrows. The program will be a primer on sparrow identification and will assist you in learning ways to neatly process information about your target sparrows and make their ID easier.
Come in with your questions and leave ready to ID all those late fall sparrows showing up in DuPage County every day.
The meeting starts at 7:00 pm at the College of DuPage Health Sciences Building. Come early and gather with fellow birders to talk about all the birds you have been seeing starting at 6:30 pm.
