The DBC Board is pleased to present Mini-Tutorials on the DBC YouTube Channel.
With a special emphasis on telling the Trumpeter and Tundra Swan apart, this mini-tutorial presents the three species seen in DuPage County. The Mute Swan stands out with its brightly colored bill, but it takes some discernment to tell a Trumpeter from a Tundra—it's all in the bill and the base of the bill. 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.
