Meadows are often a draw for certain species of birds that require open grassland space and prefer more open and edge habitats. Many native species provide important food sources for birds when they go to seed in the fall, but are also home to many larvae and other prey species that birds rely on during the springtime. This class, led by BBG’s Education Coordinator Shannon Welch, will lead participants on a birding and exploratory experience in BBG's Meadow and Pond Garden on Saturday, May 18, from 7 to 9 a.m. Binoculars, good footwear and field guides are recommended, as well as the MerlinID app from Cornell if you have a smartphone.
