While urban and suburban backyards in South Florida often attract cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds, and other common birds that reside here year-round, they can also provide essential stopover habitat for a wide variety of warblers, buntings, tanagers, orioles and other colorful birds that pass through our area during their annual migration to their wintering grounds in fall and back to their breeding grounds in spring.

On Sunday, October 8, Tropical Audubon Society’s Brian Rapoza will introduce you to the incredible diversity of birds that use South Florida’s backyard habitat and will help you to identify ways to turn your own backyard into a bird sanctuary. His one-hour presentation, entitled South Florida’s Backyard Birds, takes place at Flamingo Gardens in Davie (Broward County). The presentation begins at 10 AM.

Please note: This presentation is in person!
