Flycatcher Identification Class

Have you ever sat staring at a flycatcher waiting for it to call? Or entered a bunch of "empidonax sp." on your eBird checklist?

This is probably one of the most tricky genuses to identify in the field, but after the tips and tricks learned in this class, you'll be ahead of the pack! Join Heidi Ware Carlisle to learn about Idaho's 6 common empidonax flycatcher species. Learn how to use key empid field marks like primary projection and lower mandible color. Practice auditory ID too.

This class will be geared to the intermediate to advanced birder. 

The class will be August 22, 7-9 pm on Zoom. This class is only available to Golden Eagle Audubon members. Join today.
