On June 1st, Backyard Birding continues with “Out of the Nest” presented by Ken Wiersema. This program will delve 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 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 birds.

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.
