EDUCATION WORKSHOPS

In addition to the programs presented at the monthly meetings, you can also benefit from the various workshops covering a wide range of birding related topics. Want to know about the habits of owls? How to use eBird? Explore the birds of India? We have you covered.

Announcement (September 4th, 2026):  The Education Committee is still looking for new committee members to help promote and organize education workshops.  You do not have to be an expert birder to be on the committee.   The committee meets once a month for an hour to plan and organize upcoming scheduled workshops.    If you are looking to get involved in the HBC activities, and have some fun, this is a great way to participate!  To join please contact the HBC Education Committee via email at education@hampshirebirdclub.org.  We look forward to hearing from you soon!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

November 24th, 2026:Learn How to identify different feather types and match them to local bird species.

Join the HBC Education Committee for virtual training on how to identify bird feathers. Bryan DiFabio will lead a Zoom training on Tuesday, November 24th at 7pm EST.

Expect a presentation of approximately 45 minutes followed by 15 minutes of Q&A for the Zoom session. Building off the Introduction to Bird Track & Sign (which may be watched HERE) we’ll take a deeper dive into how to tell what part of the body a feather came from as well as discuss some common feathers found in the Northeast and how to connect them to a bird species.

Discussions will center around the anatomy of a feather, and how to distinguish unique color and pattern plumage characteristics to properly identify bird species.
