Expert ornithologist Rich Aaronian will explain annual spring bird migration, tell us which birds come first, where they have been, and which land and water birds to watch for at this time of year. He will share illustrations and stories of interesting bird behavior.

 

Rich Aaronian taught for over 45 years at Phillips Exeter Academy. He developed an ornithology class in 1975 and continued to teach that class until he retired in 2020. An important part of Rich's ornithology classes was having students go out into the field to experience and learn more about birds. Rich has been an active member of NH Audubon’s Seacoast Chapter, a contributor to New Hampshire Bird Records for over 40 years, and a contributor to the NHBirds email list since 1999. Rich has also been a regular participant on the Coastal NH and the Lee-Durham Christmas Bird Counts.
