Birding from Home: Habitat & Birds with Dan van den Broek and Candace Larson

During this “stay at home” era, finding ways to connect with nature and the outdoors is more important than ever. The Birding From Home classes are designed to help backyard birders take a deeper dive into the wonder of local birds and the healing power of nature. Lectures will run 50 minutes and we’ll have a live question and answer section at the end.

Habitat & Birds Oregon has the 5th highest total of bird species in the U.S., and that bird diversity is tied to our equally amazing habitat diversity. With a focus on the Willamette Valley, we’ll investigate key habitats and their plant and bird associations, including both common and sensitive species, plus how to create a bird-friendly (and bird-safe!) backyard.
