(VA) (Northern Virginia Bird Alliance) Do you want to learn how to identify the birds that flock to your backyard everyday? Or maybe you’re preparing for our annual spring fundraiser, Birdathon. Join this online course to brush up on your bird identification skills with NVBA Vice President, Andreas Seiter! During this program, your instructor will:

• Review common backyard bird species you’re likely to see year-round.

• Discuss migratory species that might pass through your yard this spring.

• Showcase birding tools: from eBird to field guides to binoculars.

• Instruct birders on how to use eBird to report birds you observe.

This program is designed for beginner birders but can also serve as a helpful refresher for more experienced birders.
