How many times have you been frustrated because you saw a warbler near the top of a tree and got such a poor look at the head and wings that you couldn’t identify it?
But you probably got good views of the underside of the bird-—the throat, the breast, the belly, and especially, the undertail coverts and the tail.
Many birders concentrate on a warbler’s head pattern for identification. And it IS important in most cases. But many don’t realize that the tail area of warblers can be a big help with identifying them, as I will hope to show you during this program.
Please join us at the Wildlands Conservancy Education Building, 3701 Orchid Place, Emmaus, As LVAS’s Dave DeReamus gets us ready for our Spring Birding Outings! - - #lvas #lehighvalleyaudubonsociety #allentownpa #lehighvalleypa #pennsylvania #pa #birds #springmigration #warblers #wildlandsconservancy
Spring Migration is here!! ☀️ This event is crucial for our local birds, as they are now searching for food, mates, and proper nesting grounds. Keep en eye out for your season favorites, like the Eastern Phoebe pictured above! Comment what your favorite spring bird is!! 🌺 - - #lvas #lehighaudubonsociety #lehighvalley #allentown #allentownpa #pennsylvania #pa #birds #springmigration #easternphoebe
An increasing concern in bird conservation is bird collisions. Advocates for wildlife know that glass can be harmful towards our birds, especially during migration periods. As we move into Spring 🌺, we want to promote bird dotting and ask our supporters to learn more the harm glass can cause. Accounts with more information will be tagged! - graphic by Kyle from Upper Saucon 🦅 Instagram Accounts: @birdsafephilly @birdsafeguelph @birdsafepa @birdsafecampussummit #lvas #lehighvalleyaudubonsociety #lehighvalleypa #pa #pennsylvania #birdsafeglass #birds #birdconservation

Join us to kick-off Spring 2025 by discovering some of the bee-utiful bees that are in our yards, gardens, and local wild places! Pennsylvania has as many species of bees as birds, but they’re easy to miss until you know what to look for! You’ll learn how and why bees gather pollen yet unwittingly pollinate plants in the process. And discover that some insects you think are bees are imitators. We’ll end with easy ways to support native bees. Karen authors Bugs for Birds for our Osprey newsletter. She’s an award-winning macro photographer, Certified Pollinator Steward, and is completing her qualifications as a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist.
