Matt Valencic and Kelly Stanek, from Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland, talked to new birders about where to find these beautiful birds and how to identify them. More experienced birders got a refresher and picked up new tips. The presentation included 190 photographs of warblers (almost all of them Matt's), PLUS pictures of habitat, bar charts and lists. Three handouts for this presentation, all related to Warblers, are available HERE. On the landing page, click on Docs/Info, then select General Information/Presentation Documents.
