Webinar Description
Despite global conservation efforts and successes, many bird species have continued to decline over the past century. These declines received a lot of attention recently with the published paper in Science, detailing the loss of 3 billion birds in North America, as well as Audubon’s report on climate change. Many of the species detailed in these reports are Neotropical migrants, and cover vast amounts of land in a given year. Join us to learn about how you can make your yards and homes bird-friendly and support populations of migratory birds.

Join Matthew Shumar, Program Coordinator of the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative at The Ohio State University, to learn how to make your yards and homes bird-friendly and support populations of migratory birds. Co-editor for The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Ohio. Matthew is also on the council of the Association of Field Ornithologists.
