Uncommon Facts About Common Birds: An Evening with Naturalist, Photographer, and Author Stan Tekiela

Naturalist and wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela will share fascinating facts about some of the birds people love to hate along with some of the more common birds in our yards such as the European Starling, American Crow, and others.  You will never look at these birds the same way ever again.
