Backyard Birding: “Migration”

Description

Backyard Birding: “Migration” Presenter: Bob Boekelheide Saturday, March 2, 2024 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Rainshadow Hall at Dungeness River Nature Center Our current OPAS Backyard Birding series will feature a discussion on Bird Migration, led by Bob Boekelheide. He will describe the phenomenon of bird migration—the natural rhythm of avian life that we can observe and study. Bob will focus on the migratory bird species seen in Clallam County—discussing why they migrate, how they navigate, and the routes they travel. The program will emphasize why migration stopovers in Clallam County, such as Dungeness Bay and riparian forests, are so important for certain species. Bob will demonstrate a number of online resources to promote self-guided, ongoing study for those interested. Please join us for this valuable program on the natural world we share with 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. 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.
