Advanced Birdwatching: Spring Migration

Mount Auburn Cemetery is one of the best places to see spring migration in the northeast. Every year, millions of songbirds return from the southern US, Central and South America. Mount Auburn Cemetery is a popular place to rest and refuel before the next leg. These birds have breeding on their minds, and they’re busy practicing their songs. In this class we’ll focus on Warblers, Tanagers, Flycatchers, Vireos, Orioles and Thrushes. Many of these are hard to see, and knowing their songs (“birding by ear”) will significantly increase your appreciation of migration. The course is two evenings Zoom meetings and a morning spent birding at Mount Auburn Cemetery (or other local birding hotspot depending on possible Covid-related closures) where we’ll practice our new skills.
