Backyard Birding 101: Join Us for a Fun & Informative Event!
Do you dream of having a backyard filled with beautiful birds, but feel like you’ve tried everything? Or maybe the squirrels always seem to outsmart you and steal the bird food? We’ve got you covered.
Join us on February 26th for our Backyard Birding 101 event and learn how to create a bird-friendly yard that attracts a wide variety of species.
February is National Birding Month, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with an engaging, bird-focused seminar led by our in-house expert.
