Winter Birding: Flocks & Roosts

Description

This time of year, you often see masses of mixed species like Black-capped Chickadees and Tufted Titmice flying and feeding together. Have you ever wondered why? Why does an abundance of Cedar Waxwings and Eastern Bluebirds arrive one day and then disappear overnight? Why do American Crows and Robins gather in such large numbers? In this online program, delve into what drives the flocking and roosting behavior of Massachusetts birds in winter, focusing on the most common roosting bird in Massachusetts, the American Crow. Plus, you'll find out when and where you can observe these impressive phenomena.

This standalone program is part of the online Winter Birding Series. Register for the full series before it starts on 1/23/25 to get all 6 sessions (1/23 Raptors; 1/30 Flocks & Roosts; 2/6 The Joys of Bird Feeding; 2/13 Love is in the Air; 2/27 New England Birding Highlights; 3/6 Ducks, Geese, & Other Coastal Birds) for the price of 5.
