Backyard Birding goes ‘Out of the Nest’

The next Backyard Birding meets from 10 a.m.-noon on Saturday, June 10, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center.

Ken Wiersema will discuss “Out of the Nest” and topics include adult bird roles in feeding and rearing young birds, changes in feeding needs, making your property less hazardous to young birds and lifestyles of young birds at the most vulnerable time of their lives.

The series of classes, hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, is intended for residents of this area who are interested in knowing more about birds seen locally each season of the year.

Backyard Birding can be taken either as individual classes or in a series. Cost of each session is $5 and is free for anyone younger than 18.

After the completion of five sessions, participants are offered free membership in OPAS for one year.
