Course instructor, Dr. Kevin McGowan, made the Warbler Identification course a priority because warblers are spring favorites among birders of all skill levels, owing to their bright colors and markings, as well as their long-distance migrations. Warblers add a lot of excitement to spring birding, but warblers are often in fast motion as they move through foliage, often high overhead, making them tricky to identify; but this course will help you practice identifying all 51 warblers that migrate and nest in the United States and Canada.
