Binoculars Up!

Introduction to Backyard Birding with Dick Worth

Saturday May 12   10-11 a.m.

Spring is here and the birds are flitting around, making their way north or just getting ready to establish territories for the summer. All that flitting around sure can make them tricky to identify – we have just the remedy!

 Join long-time birder and naturalist Richard Worth who will teach you how to identify Connecticut’s migratory birds by sight and sound. Backyard birding begins at the feeder, so you’ll also learn who is at the feeder at this time of year, their feeding habits, and their characteristics. Worth will discuss ways to attract birds to your feeder, what birdseed (or nectar) to use, and where to place feeders. The program will end with a delightful, short walk in our Larsen Sanctuary (weather permitting).

 The program is on Saturday, May 12 from 10-11 a.m. Program is for adults and children ages 10 and up. Meet in the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Center at Fairfield’s Nature Store. Bring your binoculars, note pad and field guides. Identification books are also available in the Nature Store. This program is free but donations are appreciated. Register in advance by calling 203-259-6305 ext. 109.
