Unless you already have a ticket, I’m a-feared the (very limited) live sparrowfest is sold out for 2022. But you can view the free presentation virtually if interested. January 29th.
Thanks to my buddy Eric who found some warbler butts before I could!! The following and more can be found at the website for The Warbler Guide by Tom Stephenson and Scott Whittle. This is an excellent and innovative book!!
