Indoor Meeting – Phantasms and Fallacies: Problems and Pitfalls in Bird Identification – Julian Hough

April 10, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Why is it that a large group of birders can look at one species and all of them will misidentify it? Why do certain people consistently find an inordinate number of rare birds? Why are some birders seemingly able to identify birds at great distance on brief or distant views with Ninja-like ability? These questions and many more will be explored by Julian Hough, who will delve into the psychology of how we observe birds, the subconscious workings of our brain, and how we can often be led astray in the field.
