Introduction to Backyard Birding with Dick Worth

Saturday, January 12 from 10-11 a.m.

Join long-time birder and naturalist Richard Worth who will teach you how to identifyConnecticut’s 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 for adults and children ages 10 and up. Meet in the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Center atFairfield’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.
