(VA) (Northern Virginia Bird Alliance) Join us for an exciting Backyard Bird Identification Workshop, where we’ll dive into the fascinating world of local birds and seasonal visitors! Whether you’re watching from your window, patio, or garden, you’ll gain the confidence to identify and appreciate the birds around you. We’ll cover:

• Common backyard bird species you’re likely to see year-round

• Migratory warblers that might pass through your yard this Spring

• Essential birding tools—from field guides to apps and binoculars

• How to use Merlin to identify unfamiliar birds

• How to use e-bird to report birds you observe

• Tips for creating a team and participating in Birdathon

This event is perfect for those looking to compete in the Backyard Birdathon category of Birdathon, our Spring Fundraiser, where you create a team to count as many unique species as you can in one day! Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your connection with nature and prepare for Birdathon in the best way possible! RSVP now and let’s get birding!
