Learn about wood warblers

Golden-winged Warbler

It's not always easy to find a warbler. They're usually found in the undergrowth of forests, on the search for grubs and insects. The warbler's color and pattern gives them away. But it still takes some knowledge and experience to identify which species is which. 

The Lehigh Valley Audubon Society is conducting a program on Friday, April 14, to help make your task of identification easier. The session begins at 7 p.m. at the Wildlands Conservancy Education Center Building in the Pool Wildlife Sanctuary at 3710 Orchard Place in Emmaus.

Scott Burnet, chair of the Habitat Committee for the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society, will explain the details of these impressive species.

Directions: From Route 29 (Cedar Crest Boulevard), turn east on Riverbend Road just north of the Borough of Emmaus. Follow Riverbend Road over a bridge and up a small hill. Turn right onto Orchard Place. The entrance to the Pool Wildlife Sanctuary is down the less, less than a half mile, on the right. Look for the Main Office.
