Workshop: "Bird Migration, Seasonal Changes, and Creating Bird-Friendly Spaces"

Join us for an engaging and educational session focused on the wonders of bird migration, seasonal changes, and how to transform your own spaces into bird-friendly havens. Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or new to the world of birds, this workshop offers a perfect blend of knowledge, discussion, and hands-on exploration.

We’ll begin with an insightful discussion about the fascinating migration patterns of birds and the impact of seasonal changes on their behaviors. Learn how to create environments that attract and support local and migratory birds, from planting native plants to setting up bird baths and feeders.

After the discussion, we’ll head out on a birding hike, where we’ll put our knowledge into practice. With the help of bird identification sheets and birding apps like Merlin, you’ll be guided in identifying various bird species along the hike, enhancing your birdwatching experience.
