(MD) (Howard County Bird Club) This talk focuses on bird song through the seasons from late winter through early spring. We’ll examine some of the songs in detail by slowing them down with visual displays to help us “see” what we are hearing. We’ll explore what the birds are conveying to one another and other fascinating aspects of bird communication that are being revealed in the current literature.
