Join DOAS online from the comfort of your home on Friday, September 18 at 7:30pm as we host Ken Elkins, Community Conservation Manager at Audubon CT and Audubon NY for a special program about Fall migration and ways for people to help birds on their journey! This program is free and open to the public.

 

Fall migration is a challenging time for birds. Find out what birds are stopping in your yard or local park during migration. Learn how to turn your yard or park into an oasis for migratory birds. The right plants provide important food, and reduce hazards by turning off lights at night and making your windows bird-friendly.

Registration is required for this presentation.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
