A RUFF was seen along Eastern Road in Scarborough on the 17th. This presentation will provide a summary of the first year of a breeding ecology study of sharp-tailed sparrows at Scarborough Marsh and provide some insight into field identification tips for this confusing sparrow complex. Greg Shriver is a graduate research assistant at the State University of New York focusing on the conservation of New England salt marsh birds. The Portland Naturalists' Forum is an informal monthly program featuring local speakers who voluntarily share their expertise on some aspect of natural history. Meetings usually take place on the last Monday of each month.
Admission is free.
