Many area birders were fortunate and delighted to observe redpolls,
grosbeaks, crossbills, as well as other winter finches this past winter
season; colorful visitors from the North. In this program, from last
year's superflight of redpolls to Evening Grosbeaks, to the distribution
and ecology of different Red Crossbill flight calls, Matthew Young,
President and Founder of the Finch Research Network (FiRN), will talk
about these interesting and beautiful winter finches and what led to the
formation of FiRN. Matt will also talk about how last year's superflight
played out in Pennsylvania, and about future projects FiRN is hoping to
fund.
