Mini-Tutorial: Crane Migration Over DuPage County

 

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

Sandhill Cranes were once a rare sight in DuPage, but now they're breeding across the county and can be seen at many times of the year. In spring and fall, look (and listen) for them flying in large groups overhead. And, now, there's always a chance an endangered Whooping Crane might be among them! Learn the comeback stories of both of these crane species, how they migrate on thermals, and a migration staging area in Indiana that is well worth a visit. Presented by Denis Kania.For more on birds and birding in DuPage County, visit https://www.dupagebirding.org.

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.
