SUMMARY:Support Birds All Summer Long
DESCRIPTION:Join us at TNFW for a screening of a wonderful webinar from Cornell University Ornithology. The summer busyness of breeding birds is on display as spring migration slows—it doesn’t take long for birds to switch over from migrating to courting and nesting. In just a few weeks there’ll be baby birds everywhere! We’ll chat with Cornell Lab experts about some of their favorite summertime birding\, like enjoying the dawn chorus\, and 5 cool birds to make sure you look and listen for all summer. We’ll also share some tips you can use to increase the diversity of birds visiting your yard and how to keep them safe. The even is free\, but please register so we can plan on how many will join us/
