For this month’s Carpinteria Birdwatchers online meeting we’ll continue the theme of becoming a better birder by talking about making better identifications. We’ll talk about key techniques for identifying birds, how to document what you see and hear, and how to avoid common pitfalls that can lead to misidentifications. Join us at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 17, 2022 via Zoom or YouTube livestream.
