Backyard Birders
Our goal is to appreciate, understand and identify
birds in our backyards and the environs of Placitas.
The format of our meetings can range from simply
identifying birds at our feeders, to hosting a speaker
on subjects relating to birding, or bird walks in around
our local areas.
Backyard Birders began in 2012
All members are welcome!
