Sign-up for this exciting backyard bird identification workshop, where you will 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

• Tips for creating a team and participating in Birdathon

This is also a great opportunity for Wildlife Sanctuary Program participants to brush up on how to identify the Sanctuary Species that visit their yards. You need to document 10 sanctuary species to get your certification! Board Member Betsy Martin will join workshop to speak about that program and how you can make your yards friendlier to birds.
