Birds of Florence County

July 2, 2025



The next Outdoor Education program will be Tuesday, July 15th, at 6:00 pm in Florence featuring Patrick Weber, Wildlife Habitat Specialist with the American Bird Conservancy.  Patrick works with private landowners and public land managers to create breeding habitat for resident and migratory birds in the Great Lakes region.
 
Patrick will highlight birds that migrate north here in the spring to breed (Warblers, Thrushes, Tanagers, etc.), those that irrupt south here from Canada in the winter for food (Winter Finches, Snowy Owls, etc.), and those that are with us all year long (Ruffed Grouse, Chickadees, Woodpeckers, etc.).  He will talk about how best to observe our birds, how to help them and when and where to look for them.  There will be ample time for all your bird watching questions.
 
This free program starts at 6:00 pm in the lower level conference room at the Florence Natural Resource Center building located on the corner of US 2 and Highway 101/70 in Florence (5628 Forestry Drive).  You may attend in person, or sign up to attend virtually via a Zoom link by registering at www.ExploreFlorenceCounty.com.  On the Events page click on this event and then click on “click here for virtual Zoom meeting link”.
