About this Event
The number of folks deriving pleasure from the birds in their yards is increasing exponentially and they want to know more about these incredible creatures. For example, where do birds sleep at night? How do they deal with extreme cold? Why do blue jays eat paint and mortar? And it is also fair to say that not all interactions with birds are positive. How does one stop birds from hitting windows or discourage woodpeckers from damaging one’s home? And while there does exist a large number of informational books and web sites focused on how to attract birds to the backyard, this fun hobby can create new questions. Should one provide bath water in the winter? What does one do when finding a baby bird? How does one deal with hawks? Should one offer peanut butter and what things can one safely add to suet? With at least three decades of experience in teaching ornithology, feeding birds, and writing and talking about backyard bird biology and challenges, enjoy a visual presentation by Dr. Bird as he attempts to provide answers to these questions and many more. Not everything is black and white.
