Prairie Warbler - Dan VickersEver have trouble identifying those flitting warblers high in the trees? Do you wonder who’s singing that song? The North Georgia Mountains host over 20 breeding warblers and this workshop will cover them all!

Atlanta Audubon Society is again pleased to announce the 2012 Warbler Weekend Workshop. This will be a two-part workshop consisting of a comprehensive class session and a weekend field trip.

To introduce you to the warblers, there will be an in depth, 3-hour class session at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve taught by Georgia’s premier warbler expert, Giff Beaton. The class will concentrate on the key identification characteristics of the warbler species, as well as tips to song recognition.

The two-day weekend field trip will be lead by Theresa Hartz and Leslie Curran in the North Georgia Mountains where it's possible to find 20+ species of warblers, many of which will be singing on their breeding grounds. We will visit the mountain ‘hot spots’ such as Burrell’s Ford Road, Ivy Log Gap Road, Brasstown Bald, Sosebee Cove and others.

The cost (excluding food and lodging) is:

$135 for Friends of Atlanta Audubon
$185 for non-members.
Your payment confirms your reservation.

This will be limited to 12 participants. To register, download a registration form and send your completed form with payment to the AAS office at 4055 Roswell Rd., Atlanta, GA 30342.
