We’re thrilled to invite you to the ‘Sparrows of New England Workshop’, a virtual event that will shine a light on the subtle beauty of these common yet extraordinary birds. Organized by the Friends of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, this engaging PowerPoint lecture will unveil the fascinating world of sparrows.

Date/Time: Tuesday, November 21, 2023, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.

Prepare to be enthralled by Bill Gette, an esteemed naturalist, as he presents 19 species of sparrows! The workshop will reveal the varieties of sparrows that call New England home, including those that breed here, winter visitors, and the occasional rare find.

With emphasis on sparrow taxonomy, nomenclature, and identification, you’ll gain insightful knowledge and a greater appreciation for these often-overlooked birds.
