Backyard Birding explores the mystery of migration on May 5
Published 1:30 am Wednesday, April 25, 2018
At the next Backyard Birding series, Tomás Setubal leads a discussion on the phenomenon of migration and the mechanisms that govern this mass movement of avian species worldwide.
The presentation takes place from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, May 5, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.
Emphasis will be given to bird species of Clallam County, an important component of the Pacific Flyway’s migration route. Setubal will discuss key species, when they are in the Sequim area, why local varied habitats are important and why the study of migration is an inherent component toward learning about the health and sustainability of bird populations.
Cost is $5.
Hosted by the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, this series of classes is intended for residents of this area interested in knowing more about wild birds and learning how to develop good habitats for them. Presented from 10 a.m. noon on Saturdays, “Backyard Birding” can be taken either as an individual class or as a series.
Tuition for each session is $5, or free for anyone younger than 18. Upon completion of five sessions, participants are offered free membership in the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society for one year.
