Shorebirds are a diverse and fascinating group of birds, and some species are renowned for their marathon migrations from arctic breeding grounds to wintering areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Shorebirds are also notoriously difficult to identify. This webinar presentation, hosted by VENT tour leader and shorebird identification expert Michael O’Brien, will explore various techniques for identifying shorebirds, including both macro and micro field marks, and highlight several VENT tours with excellent opportunities for shorebird study.
