Bird Friendly Gardens
Saturday, February 7th 12:00pm to 2:00pm Ages 18 and Up $10/members, $15/non-members
Building and installing a birdhouse is not as simple as it may seem. The location of your residence, the layout of your garden or patio, and the birdhouse's design and size all factor into the habitability of a birdhouse. If you'd like to study the art of building birdhouses, sign up for this adult workshop led by Mike Azevedo, County Coordinator for Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society's Cavity Nester Recovery Program. In addition to teaching the aspects of a successful birdhouse, Mike will share the efforts of the Audubon Society and others in the community to restore bird populations through cavity nesting programs. Check out this interview with Mike in Bay Nature.
