At our June 1, 2024 Backyard Birding program, Ken Wiersema delves into the roles parent birds play in protecting, feeding, and leading their offspring as they grow and leave their nests. Late spring and early summer are vulnerable times in the life of fledglings and new birds. Ken expands on how different species vary in raising their young. You will gain an understanding of changing food needs in early bird development and will learn ways to make your yards more inviting and less hazardous for young birds. Watch now!
