Backyard Birdwatching: Make Your Own Bird Feeder!
Saturday, May 24th, 1-3pm
$6 ONC members, $8 nonmembers. All ages.
Birds are a delight to watch and hear, and they’re even better to watch from the comfort of your own home. In this program, you’ll get crafty with a DIY wooden bird feeder that you can decorate and then hang up in your backyard to attract birds. As you paint, you’ll learn all about backyard bird watching in Utah and then get a chance to see ONC’s birds of prey. All supplies will be provided but feel free to bring your own crafting items if you’d like. Please register by May 17th.
