SUMMARY:Bird Banding Science Study With Timothy Brush
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Brush\nQuinta Mazatlan welcomes presenter Timothy Brush on June 1 as he shares what he has learned and is still learning about Valley birds. \nGreen Jays and Clay-colored Thrushes are tropical birds that many birders love to see.
