Join us for an exciting backyard bird identification workshop, where we’ll dive into the fascinating world of local birds and seasonal visitors! Whether you’re watching from your window, patio, or garden, you’ll gain the confidence to identify and appreciate the birds around you.
During this workshop, we’ll cover: common backyard bird species you’re likely to see year-round; migratory warblers that might pass through your yard this spring; essential birding tools—from field guides to apps and binoculars; how to use Merlin to identify unfamiliar birds; how to use e-bird to report birds you observe; and tips for creating a team and participating in Birdathon. This event is perfect for those looking to compete in the Backyard Bounty category of Birdathon, where you create a team to count as many unique species as you can in one day!
