Rutland County Audubon Society will hold a Female Bird Walk at the West Rutland Marsh on Saturday, May 13, 2023, led by Joel Tilley. This is a walk to identify female birds, NOT a walk just for female birders - all are welcome! Why focus on female birds? We often assume that female birds are less interesting to observe because they tend to be less colorful than the males, and "they don't sing." This last statement is demonstrably false, as more and more females are recorded with songs, often distinct from those of the males. Northern Cardinals and Red-winged Blackbirds are two common examples. We will start to learn to distinguish between the sexes on this walk. Meet at the old boardwalk on Marble Street in West Rutland at 7:30 AM, Saturday, May 13 (NOT the new boardwalk on Whipple Hollow Rd).
