Attendees will gain a firsthand perspective on the captivating world of bird banding from Harvey who will share his unique insights and experiences in the field at Tobay Beach, Teddy Roosevelt Sanctuary and Green Tree private estate. He will explain the art of identifying, male or female birds hatching year birds (HY), and after hatching year birds (AHY) as well the art of separating very close species. As a seasoned birder with over 50 years of experience, *Harvey Farber *was born in Stockport, England, and that is where he first discovered his love for birding as a young child. To improve his bird identification skills, he bought a small bird book and a pair of binoculars, which he still has today along with the life list of the early birds he identified. In 1957, Harvey and his family moved to the United States, but his passion for birding continued. In the early 1960s, he had an exciting encounter at Tobay Beach, Long Island. There he observed a few individuals, including Bob Paxton, Tony Lauro and Tom Davis, banding birds. This experience left a lasting impression on him, inspiring him to assist them every weekend in May, September, and October during bird migration. After about three years, Harvey obtained his own Federal permit, allowing him to participate in bird banding.
