Join author and professional field trip leader Kevin Karlson and New York’s own Lloyd Spitalnik as they share a simple and more effective approach to shorebird ID as highlighted in Kevin’s bestselling book The Shorebird Guide. With initial focus on basic impressions of size, shape and behavior, a more effective ID starting point is achieved.

Two experienced leaders will give both groups personal attention.
