Have you ever wondered what birds are visiting your backyard bird feeders or how to attract certain species of birds to your yard? Come learn about the life histories and identification of our winter bird species and the types of food and feeders that best suit their needs.
We'll also share how to participate in Project FeederWatch—a winter-long community science survey of the birds that visit feeders in your backyards, parks, offices, and other areas. You and your family can participate by counting the birds you see in your backyard and submitting them to the Project FeederWatch website. We will provide identification guides to backyard birds and information on how you can take part in Project FeederWatch. Following a slideshow presentation we will conduct a FeederWatch count at our Learning Center's bird feeder window!
