Join us for an interactive and educational birding webinar with Bob Bell, aka The Birder Bob, on Thursday, March 12th, from 7:00–8:15 pm on Zoom.

Have you ever wondered why some bird names are so confusing? Bob will demystify them in a fun and approachable way. You’ll also get a chance to test your bird ID skills with photos, songs, and calls.

Book Giveaway!

Thanks to Bob’s generosity, one webinar participant will win a copy of his book Out of the Lyme Light and Into the Sunlight: Birding as Therapy for the Chronically Ill.

A great evening for curious beginners and seasoned birders alike.

More about Bob Bell:

Bob Bell spent 35 years as a mineral exploration geologist before retiring to Ancaster in 2015. He quickly discovered that the area, with its multitude of habitats and environments, was fantastic for birding.

Bob is passionate about sharing the joy of birding with people of all skill levels and enjoys introducing them to the huge variety of beautiful birds that can be seen in the Hamilton and Burlington areas.

He hopes that his passion will inspire others to take in the sights and sounds of nature that surround us, and that this interest will translate into support and protection of local birds.
