Backyard Birds and Bird Habitats

A Marin Master Gardener Presentation

Backyard birding is easy, interesting and a lot of fun! Learn from Bob Mauceli how to see our backyard birds more easily by building a simple, sustainable bird-friendly habitat in your backyard.

About 500 species of birds have been seen in Marin County, and you can see a good number of them just by looking out your backyard windows.

Marin Master Gardener Bob Mauceli will help you learn more about some of the most frequently seen backyard birds.

He’ll also give you some pointers on how to make these birds easier to see by building a simple, sustainable bird-friendly habitat in your backyard.

You can view Bob's digital handout, which highlights key aspects of his presentation, here.
