    January Program – “Warblers in Winter:  Going Home to the Tropics”

    We tend to think of warblers as “our” birds, but they are as much at home on their winter grounds in the tropics as they are here.  Where do they go in winter?  How do they get there? What do they do there?  Please join, Elliot Tramer, a Toledo Naturalists’ Association member and Professor of Ecology at the University of Toledo, for his presentation of “Warblers in Winter:  Going Home to the Tropics” on January 19th, 7:30 PM.
