Our OPAS Backyard Birding series continues in June with the program “Out of the Nest,” presented by Ken Wiersema. This program will delve into parent birds’ roles 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. We will expand on how different species vary in raising their young. Attendees will gain an understanding of changing food needs in early bird development and will learn ways to make their yards more inviting and less hazardous for young fledglings.
Please join us to gain insights on the role you can play in fostering the health and survival of our young feathered friends. 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.
