Mini-Tutorial: Brewer’s and Rusty Blackbirds (plus other blackbirds)

 

The DBC Board is pleased to present Mini-Tutorials on the DBC YouTube Channel.

This week Denis Kania presents a Mini-tutorial covering Brewer's and Rusty Blackbirds during fall migration, with details on the adult male, first-year male, and female of these quite similar-looking species. We'll also look at a few more common blackbirds we'll see in large, mixed flocks during migration season: the Red-winged Blackbird, Brown-headed Cowbird, and Common Grackle. Presented by Denis Kania.

As meetings and field trips have been altered for the short term due to the Covid-19 the Board offers a way to connect with you and enrich your birding experience.

Several Mini-tutorials are live and focus on: Fall Warblers; the updated checklist of birds in DuPage; the return of Ospry in DuPage; the Tanagers; Hairy vs. Downy Woodpeckers; Pine Warbler vs. Yellow-throated Vireo; Sandpipers; yellow, female warblers; separating Louisiana and Northern Waterthrushes, a look at early-arriving small flycatchers and then a drill down on bird topography to help you analyze what you see when you look at a bird. And more fascinating topics will follow.
