Birding and Birdwatching

Greg Bodker’s award-winning beautiful photography will help you learn more about birds as he demonstrates the joys of birding! Greg has led birding trips for Michigan Audubon and was on its board of directors for three years. He now enjoys delivering birding and nature education presentations to audiences throughout Michigan. He is excited to report he saw his 358th bird species in Michigan in June 2024, a Black-tailed Gull in Schoolcraft County. Novice and aspiring birders will especially benefit from this program. Informative handouts will be provided with topics to include: 
• How birdwatching can reduce stress and improve your health
• Differences between birdwatching and birding
• How to attract more birds to your backyard and suggestions on seed, feeders and their care
• How birding beyond the backyard leads to many enriching experiences and places to go birding in our area
• Discuss the excitement and enjoyment of birdwatching and a bird chase with stories from the field while birding
