Little Brown Birds *FULL*

At first glance all those little brown birds flitting through the brush look alike, but with a little practice you’ll learn to recognize the great variety of sparrows, finches, and wrens found in the area. Local author and guide John Rakestraw will help you learn the field marks and behaviors that make all these birds unique.
