Join us on Saturday, June 19 from 2 - 3:00 p.m. for "Breeding Season Backyard Birds." In this Zoom presentation, Steve Hale follows an interactive, bird-quiz format that enables the audience to test their own knowledge and ask their own on-line follow-up questions. This is an engaging and interactive presentation featuring common and not-so-common breeding season birds common to any backyard in New England. This presentation offers ID tips, including learning a few birds by their song. Tips on feeding birds to attract the most diversity are also provided. Advance registration is required. A zoom link will be sent to all registrants 24 hours prior to the program.
Bio:
Steve Hale, holds university degrees in marine biology, evolutionary biology, and ecology. He has lived in New Hampshire over 20 years and has explored most of the state. An avid hiker, birder, and experienced naturalist, Steve loves to share his experience and knowledge with others. In the mid-1990s, Steve moved to NH from Baton Rouge, LA and worked as a bird observer in the White Mountain National Forest. This experience honed his skills for birding by ear. Steve converted this experience into a doctoral dissertation at the University of New Hampshire, where he studied the habitat associations of the endemic Bicknell's Thrush using satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems. The project was also Steve's introduction to the world of hiking in the Whites. Steve hikes and backpacks over 200 miles every year and has observed many wonderful things.
