Penn Birders met up for a productive session of indoor birding!We hatched (yes, that is a birding pun!) plans for future outings and watched part of "Birds, birds, birds! An Indoor Birdwatching Field Trip" -- an educational video to help teach beginning birders how to identify birds by their calls.
We were impressed to learn that many bird names are onomatopoeic, i.e., derived from their calls -- like the chickadee and killdeer. Good to know!
After watching the video and stuffing our faces with yummy Thai food, we were pumped for our first trip of the semester: a Saturday morning guided walk at Heinz Wildlife Refuge!
