Mini-Tutorial: The Odd Goose

 

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

Mini-tutorial covering the five goose species that can show up in DuPage County. The ubiquitous, all-year round Canada Goose and smaller Cackling Goose resemble each other, as do the white (and sometimes blue-gray) Snow Goose and smaller Ross's Goose. And then there's the Greater White-fronted Goose. Learn what to look for beyond comparative size. Next time you see a flock of geese feeding at a pond or passing overhead, be sure to stop and take a closer look! 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 Osprey 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.
