The public is invited to attend any or all of the 10 sessions. For adults older than 18, a $5 fee will be payable for each class. After five classes are attended, a free year of membership in OPAS will be offered.

Lassen’s presentation will cover general bird feeding, including types of feeders and different feeds for attracting specific birds with an emphasis on the North Olympic Peninsula’s over-wintering species.

She will include specific ideas for providing continuing winter water supplies and meeting the needs of the Anna’s Hummingbird which has started staying here throughout the year.

She will address specific questions from participants.
