Backyard Birding: “Gulls and Shorebirds”
Presenter: Bob Boekelheide
Saturday, May 6, 2023 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Rainshadow Hall at Dungeness River Nature Center
Suggested donation: $5
Our OPAS Backyard Birding programs continue in May on the topic of Gulls and Shorebirds, presented by Bob Boekelheide. In his talk, Bob will explain his frequently repeated mantra: “There is no species named Seagull.” Come learn how to identify over a dozen species of gulls and gull-like birds—and the multitude of their shorebird associates—that either make the Olympic Peninsula their home, or that visit us in their migration, or that breed here. Come enjoy a program richly illustrated with regional photographs. We will welcome your questions and comments! After the class, Bob will lead a short field trip to a local shoreline.
Please join us to glean information sure to increase your identification skills among the diversity of bird species seen along our shorelines. Admission to the series is free. However, we suggest a donation of $5.00 per person to support our ongoing education and bird conservation programs. Please note that current COVID-19 health precautions as recommended by Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Clallam County Public Health will be followed for the protection of our attendees and volunteer staff.
