Join us for an informative webinar on the identification of puddle ducks,
presented by expert birder Dessi Sieburth. This session will focus on key
species like the Blue-winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Green-winged Teal,
Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, Mallard, and Northern Pintail. Dessi will walk
us through the distinguishing characteristics of each species, helping both
beginners and experienced birders sharpen their identification skills.
Through detailed comparisons of plumage, behavior, and habitat preferences,
we will learn how to confidently identify these common yet diverse
waterfowl. Whether you’re new to birding or looking to refine your field
skills, this webinar offers valuable insights into recognizing puddle ducks
in various stages of life and seasonal appearances.
Please join us for a fun and informative evening!
