Backyard Birding: “Birds in Migration”

Description

Backyard Birding: “Birds in Migration” Presenter: Nikki Pyle, Environmental Educator, Dungeness River Nature Center. Suggested donation: $5. Bringing her academic training in Ecology, Evolution, Behavior Science (BS, University of Minnesota), presenter Nikki Pyle will focus on the migration patterns and timing of birds local to Clallam County. She will describe the instinctive motivations that drive birds to return each year to their breeding or winter-feeding grounds. Nikki will review tools and skills that we, as citizen scientists, can use to monitor migrations, compile data, and document the importance of our migratory habitats. Please join us to learn how you can support migrating birds in your own backyard and help protect the many species that rely on our unique North Olympic Peninsula as they travel through the Pacific Flyway. Admission to this program is free. However, we ask attendees to consider a donation of $5.00 per person to support ongoing OPAS education and conservation programs.
