🔍 Go beyond just watching—start truly understanding the birds in your backyard! 🐦
Have you ever looked out your window and wondered exactly what kind of sparrow just landed, or why that blue jay is making such a fuss? Identifying neighborhood birds and interpreting their unique behaviors is one of the most rewarding parts of backyard birding!
Join us for Session 2 of our Summer Backyard Birding Series as we take a deep dive into local bird identification and behavior. Whether you're a complete beginner or a curious backyard observer looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop will break it all down in a simple, practical way.
🔍 What We'll Cover:
Identification Made Easy: Key features to look for (shapes, markings, and flight patterns) to easily identify common Minnesota backyard birds.
Bird Behavior 101: What are they doing? We'll decode common feeder habits, territorial behaviors, and social interactions.
The Perfect Match: Which seed types and feeder styles attract specific species, helping you customize your yard for the birds you want to see most.
🎨 Interactive Bonus:
We aren't just sending you home with information! Every attendee will get to create and customize their very own take-home Birding Journal to help you track your backyard visitors, log your observations, and practice your new identification skills at home. 📚🖊️
⏱️ Duration: 45–60 minutes of value-packed learning.
