Marin Master Gardeners – Backyard Birds and Bird Habitats

Posted by bonnie on 13 February 2018

Over 500 species of birds have been seen in Marin County, and you can see some of them just by looking out your backyard windows.  It’s easy, interesting and a lot of fun doing backyard birding, and Marin Master Gardener Bob Mauceli will help you learn more about some of the most frequently seen of these backyard birds. He’ll also give you some pointers on how to make these birds easier to see by building a simple, sustainable bird-friendly habitat in your backyard.

Bob Mauceli  has been a Master Gardener for almost 13 years, and a birder for over 40.  He and his wife find some of their most satisfying birding in their current backyard, which has a ‘yard list’ of 75 species; they have built bird-friendly backyard habitats in the 11 homes in which they’ve lived together.
