Common & Not So Common Birds In Our "Backyard"2021-03-06T10:00:00Join this fun presentation to learn about many of the birds found around Washtenaw County. We will talk about things to notice to help with bird identification, listen to some bird songs and calls, and learn about the times of year that various birds can be seen in your backyard and nearby natural areas. Birds we will talk about include the Eastern Bluebird, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Wood Duck and Cedar Waxwing, plus many more species!
