Backyard Birding: "Birds the Inside Story"

Description

OPAS Backyard Birding programs are underway for in-person instruction in the newly remodeled Dungeness River Nature Center in Sequim. The eight-part 2022-23 program series will feature information on wild bird identification, biology, feeding, nesting, and habitats of the Olympic Peninsula. The classes are developed for folks new to birding and to our region as well as for those who wish to hone their bird knowledge and skills. Second in the series, on December 3, Shirley Anderson and Ken Wiersema will present a seminar packed with information on the physical features and biology of birds—how they eat, digest, see, breathe, sing, reproduce, and fly. Participants will learn from a collection of bird skeletons, feathers, and feet along with new graphic illustrations and recorded sounds. Come and increase your understanding and enjoyment of our local feathered friends! Admission to each seminar will be free. However, a donation of $5.00 per person is suggested to support our ongoing education programs. Please note that current Covid-19 safety 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.
