Please note the new date! May 29!

Come join naturalist and long time LSPA member Sue Venable to learn about the wonderful calls and songs of familiar backyard birds.

Becoming alert to the different calls and songs of birds affords participants the opportunity to appreciate diversity in the natural world. It helps participants pay attention to details,creates an awareness of color, size and shape, different beaks for different purposes and different habitats.  The presentation includes audience participation.  As pictures of familiar backyard birds found throughout the United States are viewed, people will learn the calls and songs of the birds.  Stories about particular sightings will be shared.  Participants will receive a handout with a black and white picture of each bird and the English words that approximate the calls of each.  For example, the robin says "cheer up, cheerily."  The barred owl says, "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?"  A bibliography of current children's books about birds will be included so that parents and grandparents can share what they have learned with the children in their lives.
