In June 2024, my niece Megan and I published our first book, Backyard Birds: A Beginner’s Guide to Backyard Birds in Southwestern Ontario. Sales of this book have far exceeded our expectations (thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy and/or attended one of our events). Books are available through my website or several stores throughout Southwest Ontario.
On Sunday, March 22, 2026, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Megan and I will give a presentation at Wild Birds Unlimited in London, Ontario, about backyard birds and how to attract each of the 24 species featured in our book to your yard. The advice shared is based on our own experience including what feeder and seed combinations work in our own yards and have for decades. We’ll also share advice on how to deter some of the less desirable backyard visitors, such as grackles, starlings, and squirrels.
After the event, grab a copy of our book, have your current copy signed, or feel free to ask questions. We can even help you choose the perfect new feeder and seed combination to take home for your yard!
Space is limited, so registration is required. If you want to attend this event, please email cathy@wbulondon.ca to register.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Good birding,
Paul
