The annual Backyard Birding series continues at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 1, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.

The ninth in a 10-part series, the June 1 presentation is “Birds Out of the Nest” by Ken Wiersema. This program describes a parent bird’s role in protecting, feeding, and teaching its offspring — and how various species differ in their roles as they raise their young.

Attendees will learn how food needs change during early bird development, and how to make residential properties less hazardous against the vulnerabilities of young fledglings.

Hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, the series offers local residents information about observing and protecting wild bird life in the region.

Backyard Birding may be taken either as individual classes or in a series. Cost of each session is $5. Admission is free for anyone younger than 18. For participants completing five sessions in the series, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society offers a free, one-year membership.
