SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: WAS Meeting - Demystifying Great Lakes Waterbirds in Flight - with Alison Világ
DESCRIPTION:For many of us\, identifying ducks\, loons\, and grebes in flight comes with a high intimidation factor: these waterbirds travel quickly and seem just subtly different. But lakewatching offers some of Michigan’s most exciting birding opportunities. Join Alison Világ\, who’s conducted WPBO’s waterbird count for three seasons\, as she breaks down her methods of unraveling these sorts of identifications.\nAlison Világ grew up with the Berrien Bird Club in southwest Michigan and currently calls Traverse City home. She worked at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory as waterbird counter and Piping Plover monitor from 2019 through early fall 2020\, and then counted waterbirds further west on Lake Superior in October 2020.\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97648849414\nOr dial-in: +1 312 626 6799\nMeeting ID: 976 4884 9414\nNo password\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.
