What kind of help is available for amateurs in identifying birds?
The best way for an amateur birder to learn more is to talk to other people on the mountain. There are plenty of professionals as well as long-time members and volunteers who are more than willing to share their knowledge and experience. Hawk Mountain Sanctuary programs, like “Birding With Binoculars” which takes place on weekends in the spring and autumn, are also great places to start learning.
