March 2026 Monthly Meeting:  Wayne Klockner, Executive Director, American Birding Association presents “Spring Jewels – Warblers in Migration”

Spring migration is eagerly anticipated by birders especially due to the impressive array of warblers passing through the mid-Atlantic in April and May. While many adult male warblers are flashy and easily identified, others present a fun challenge for birders. This presentation includes a review of all of the warbler species likely to be encountered in Spring and will address both male and female plumages and behaviors.

Wayne Klockner is Executive Director of the American Birding Association. Previously, he had a long career in conservation with The Nature Conservancy in Maryland, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, and Indonesia, fulfilling his dream to protect natural lands and waters for all life. Wayne is a lifelong birder; as a pre-teen in New Jersey, his spark bird was the Dark-eyed Junco. He has subsequently pursued birds in 21 countries—and counting. But he most enjoys documenting the seasonal changes in regional birdlife in patches close to home. Wayne lives in Ocean City, Maryland, with his wife Lisa and a springer spaniel named Lizzy.
