Winter Birding Basics

Did you know February is National Birdfeeding Month? Bird watching season doesn’t end in Ohio with the fall migration- there’s always birds to see! Join us for this workshop, where we will learn how to support birds in our own backyards throughout every season including winter, create a birdfeeder from common household supplies, and take a winter walk to learn how to identify some common Ohio birds that overwinter here.

Be sure to dress for the weather, the walk will be happening rain or shine! If you have a pair of binoculars, please feel free to bring them. Otherwise, our walk will not require the use of binoculars so don’t worry if you are a beginning birder!
