Watch the video of our February 1, 2025 “Bird Nesting and the Great Backyard Bird Count” Backyard Birding presentation. Ken Wiersema and Bob Boekelheide focused on bird nesting habits as well as preparation for the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count.

Ken describes where and how local bird species select sites and build nests, how pair bonding plays an integral part in nesting, and how differing species share parenting responsibilities.

Bob offered a primer on the use of the eBird application—an important tool for birders to report their bird sightings to fellow birdwatchers and the National bird data networks.
