Backyard Birds of Marin at Novato Library

Join Jack at the Novato Library for this introduction to our most common and notable backyard birds. We’ll discuss about 20 different species that you can see in your yard right now, explaining the essential basics:

• How to identify them: what is that bird you’re always seeing?
• The best ways to attract them with feeders or nesting boxes. What foods should you offer?
• Their migration patterns – who’s here now? When will they leave?

Plus myriad other tips and insights to help you generally become more friendly and familiar with our backyard bird species.

But come to the talk if you can – we’ll tailor the bird selection to the season, go into more depth, and be available to answer questions and go off on unpredictably fruitful tangents.
