Get prepared for spring nesting season! Learn about some of the most common birds nesting in our area and how to make your yard more inviting for them. A great family event, join us and assemble your own bird box to take home and monitor. We will learn how to become citizen scientists by joining NestWatch and contribute data to this continent-wide program by monitoring visitors to our nest boxes.
All volunteer events will take place at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. Enjoy refreshments and giveaways after you lend Mother Nature a helping hand. Please register for these events. To get involved contact Katie via email or call the Center at 407-644-0190.
