Class Description: This virtual class will introduce the warblers commonly found in southwestern Idaho during the summer. We will touch on warbler taxonomy, what to notice in a warbler to identify it, provide a basic understanding of sonograms, and describe 10 warblers and one former warbler in detail. Participants can then test their knowledge with quiz birds, although songs will not be included in the quiz. The class will list additional resources should participants wish to learn more. Class participants can also attend an in-person field trip on either May 21 or May 25 to practice what you learned in the field.
