Watch the video of our January 6th Backyard Birding program featuring experienced birders and gardeners, Kathy & Matt McCoy and Gary Brundige (with the support of Lorraine Eckard), volunteers from OPAS and WSU Master Gardeners. Learn the importance of using native plants and seeds, providing water features, attracting pollinators, and controlling invasive vegetation to meet the year-round needs of birds. Winter is an excellent time to start designing your yards and gardens before spring arrives. Plan now to optimize your enjoyment by safely attracting birds to shelter, feed, and nest on your property.
