Event Description:
Did you know watching birds is good for your health? Slideshow presenter Kendra Bainbridge is a naturalist, biologist and Mount Shasta local who will take us on a journey into the lives of birds in our neck of the woods, and describe why birds are so special and what they can do for us. Siskiyou County has diverse habitats, open spaces and many recorded bird species. How can we attract and enjoy these gems in our yards and keep a healthy atmosphere for all to enjoy? What are the benefits/negatives of feeding birds? What are the natural ways of attracting birds? While this show will primarily focus on local birds there is much linked similarities with seemingly far-flung localities such as Costa Rica. Kendra recently travelled to Costa Rica and will share her two week birding experience. Many birds from both locations have a migration link as well as human linked losses. We will talk about a few of these issues and what we can do on a personal level to help.
