If you missed our Bird-friendly Backyard Tour on July 12, you’re in luck! Phil Swanson, one of our Bird-friendly Backyard hosts, will present an eye-popping photographic visit to his amazing backyard.

In the middle of a bustling Papillion neighborhood, Phil’s small backyard is a hotspot for an amazing variety of birds: 172 bird species, including 27 species of warblers! It offers seclusion, native trees and ferns that bring in the bugs and provide shelter, bird feeders, and a pond with running water all year round — which Phil credits for “bringing in the birds.”

Learn his secrets to designing and maintaining a water feature, how to position bird feeders for maximum viewing and tips for capturing close-up photos of birds.
Join us on Thursday, November 13 in the private meeting room at DJ’s Dugout, 777 N 114th St. Food and drinks are available for purchase at the 6 p.m. social hour. The program begins at 7 p.m. Please register at Audubon-Omaha.org/calendar of events. Invite your nature-loving friends to sit back and enjoy the show! Free and open to the public.
