“Solving Shorebird ID Pitfalls”
Friday, April 21 at 3:30 pm
Saturday, April 22 at 2:00 pm
Mel Cooksey is a life-long birder with a special interest in status and distribution, migration trends, and subtle identification techniques. His special interests are shorebirds, sparrows and flycatchers.
This talk is a general overview of the expected shorebird species in the Coastal Bend in spring, with discussion on the finer points of identification. How we apply size, shape, and behavior and plumage in spring in sorting out confusing groups such as peeps and dowitchers.
