Backyard Birding Class – Bird Nesting and GBBC + eBird primer
Saturday February 1, 2020 at 10 a.m.
Meet at Dungeness River Audubon Center
Cost $5.
Bob Boekelheide and Ken Wiersema will present a 3-part program on bird nests, the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), and a tutorial on eBird as a tool for recording and distributing bird sightings. We encourage attendees to bring their phones or other mobile electronics (iPads, tablets, and laptops) and we’ll provide hands-on instruction on how to use and enter bird sightings on eBird. It’s easy and fun!
The Backyard Birding series of classes, hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, is intended for residents of this area who are interested in knowing more about birds seen locally each season of the year and learning how to develop good habitats for wild birds.
“Backyard Birding” can be taken either as individual classes or as a series. The cost of each session is $5 and is free for anyone under 18. After the completion of five sessions, participants will be offered free membership in OPAS for one year. Instructors are volunteers, and class fees support the educational programs of OPAS and the Dungeness River Audubon Center.
