The Backyard Birding series continues with “Bird Nesting and the Great Backyard Bird Count,” presented by Ken Wiersema, at 10 a.m. Saturday Feb. 2, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.

Attendees will learn from Wiersema where and how local bird species select and build nests and how nesting plays an integral part in pair bonding in this, the fifth in the 2018-2019 Backyard Birding series.

Participants will get to see sample nests and enjoy a “how to” walk through for birdwatchers of every age and skill level who are looking to participate in the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count set for Feb. 15-18.

Hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, the 10-class Backyard Birding series offers interested local residents information about observing and protecting wild bird life in the region.

The series 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.
