Travis Audubon – Beginning Backyard Birding – January 30 – 8:00am to 12:00pm

December 24, 2015 by

Beginning Backyard Birding, $25 members, $30 nonmembers

How many different species of birds can I attract to my yard? What woodpeckers can I expect to see here? What is that song I am hearing? Are there any plants that are bird magnets? When should I put my hummingbird feeders up? If you want to get acquainted with common backyard birds that are here year round and expected winter visitors that are in the neighborhood, this class is for you.

Get tips on how to identify your backyard birds and attract them to your yard by providing water, supplementary food, native plants, and shelter. The class includes interactive classroom instruction, lots of resources, and an outdoor break to look for birds and native plants that support them. You will have fun and leave with an enhanced appreciation of our wonderful Austin-area birds.   This class includes one session. It will be held Saturday, January 30 at either a central or east Austin location. Class limit is 20 participants. Light refreshments will be provided. The class will be taught by Jane Tillman who is past chair of the TAS Urban Habitat Committee and the current chair of the TAS Speaker’s Bureau. She is current president of the Native Plant Society of Texas, Austin chapter. She gives talks about Central Texas birds and gardening for birds to garden clubs, neighborhood associations and libraries. Please contact Jane at jtillman@utexas.edu for more information.
