Identifying Birds
In Your Backyard
• In Store Class
Thursday, January 14th
• 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
The winter edition of this popular class. We
will cover basic backyard birds of winter but
concentrate on the tricky ID challenges like
House Finch vs Purple Finch, Downy vs Hairy
Woodpecker, Cooper’s vs Sharp-shinned Hawk. Join
us for an evening of Backyard Bird ID and we
will solve some of the most common frustrations
that new birders struggle with.
Birds of San Diego

In Store Class
Thursday, January 28nd
• 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
Have you thought about birding in Southern
California? Do you know what county has the
highest species count in the United States? If
you are curious about these two questions, you
may want to attend this class. “The guys” and I
took a trip to San Diego a while back and
garnered a petty impressive bird list. If there
is enough interest, we may be planning a trip
for the store.

loaded with Snow Geese and Bald Eagles. We
will search area hotspots for hawks, eagles,
Snow Buntings, Lapland Longspurs,

Dress warmly and you may want to bring a
thermos of something hot.

To get prepared for the nesting season, we
will be talking about Purple Martins,
bluebirds and other species that can be
attracted to your yard via a nest box. Come
with questions and experiences to share with
others who take on the role as bird
landlords each year.

Birds Across
State Lines
Sunday, March 14th
• 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Birds do not recognize political
boundaries and neither should birders. We
will spend the afternoon exploring a couple
of Kansas lakes that have been known to turn
up really good birds in the past. We will
start at Wyandotte County Lake then head
down to Shawnee Mission Park Lake in search
of the elusive “Jayhawk”.
Meet at the Store at
1:00 pm
