Place: Centennial Albert United Church, 19 Rosehill Blvd., Oshawa

Tyler Hoar will lead a discussion about forecasting which finch species will visit in the winter and provide an overview of each winter finch species and their current movements. Winter finches are birds that typically breed further north but erratically move into our area during the cold season. They include pine grosbeak, evening grosbeak, redpolls, crossbills, siskins and purple finch.

It’s expected that Tyler will share a brief history of the finch forecast, how it’s compiled and its future goals.

He is an experienced field biologist who has studied many avian families, including shorebirds, raptors, parrots, and passerines including finches, during his career. His work has taken him from the high Canadian Arctic to the deserts of Arizona and the rainforests of the Caribbean
