Bird Nesting and the Great Backyard Bird Count

Description

Our OPAS Backyard Birding series continues on the first Saturday of February 2023 with Bird Nesting and the Great Backyard Bird Count, presented by Bob Boekelheide and Ken Wiersema. With spring just over the horizon, we offer this always popular class on bird nesting. Attendees will learn where and how local bird species select and build nests and how nesting plays an integral part in pair bonding. We will show sample nests. We will end with a “how to” walkthrough for birdwatchers of every age and skill level who wish to participate in the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) on February 17-20, 2023. Admission to the seminar is free. However, a donation of $5.00 per person is suggested 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.
