NOTES: Join Lycoming Audubon Society as finch expert Matthew Young introduces us to the 43 finches of the United States and Canada, from feeder-favorite goldfinches to red crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top black rosyfinches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers.

This program is based on the information-backet book “Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada” by Lillian Stokes, best-selling author of 35 Stokes guides and co-authored by Young.

Learn detailed finch identification, language, behavior, irruptions, specialized maps and foraging charts on crossbills, how to conserve finches and much more.
