HCBC Meeting: Sparrow Identification Workshop by Bonnie Ott will have an early start
December 12 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. and meeting will start at 7:15 p.m. for a presentation by Brenda Lee on Recreation and Parks Department pollinator meadows and other areas of interest efforts in the county.
Bonnie Ott will give a workshop on sparrow identification. Learn from her how to differentiate the different species of “little brown jobs.”
Bonnie has been birding for decades and is a long-time member of MOS and the Howard County Bird Club. Bonnie is especially passionate about our native sparrows, or “LBJ’s” (Little Brown Jobs) as they are affectionately known. Over the years, she has broadened her interests to diversify as a master naturalist. Odonates, caterpillars, and spiders have become her main study subjects. Taking up the camera, Bonnie documents many subjects with her photos. Bonnie donates all her pictures and has been published in numerous books and magazines.
