Presented by John McFaul, Chair of Bird Friendly Calgary

Join us for a fun-filled online adventure and explore the fascinating world of birds right from the comfort of your own home! Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just starting out, this event is perfect for all bird enthusiasts. There are four parts to this talk – the first is a review of some of the interesting birds that might visit backyards or are seen while backyard bird watching. The second part describes the tools for identifying the avian visitors. You can learn how to attract birds to your backyard, and ways to keep the birds safe within the city.
