What Bird Is That??
           
​           BIRD IDENTIFICATION NIGHT
         hosted by Kirtland Bird Club                                                                                    
Saturday, May 16th from 7-8PM
Virtual meeting place, details to be sent after emailing us (see below)

If you see a bird in Northeast Ohio and can describe it or get a photo, the Kirtland Bird Club of Cleveland will help you figure out what it is!                            Birders of all levels are welcome!

Email us at info@kirtlandbirdclub.org with your name and city and we’ll get back to with details about our virtual meetup.  
Get as many details as you can (those are what we call the "field marks" of the bird)!

• What color was it overall?  How about the colors on the head, chest, and belly?  
• How big was it – the size of a robin?  the size of a crow? the size of a sparrow? 
• Was there anything special you noticed?  Stripes on the head?  White outer tail feathers as it flew away?  Flicking its tail up & down? 
• Where did you see it?  On the ground, in a tree, at a bird feeder?  The more details the better! 

In the mean time check out our New Birder section (found under "MORE" above)
