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. Meetings are held at the Placitas Cafe. We meet monthly on the 3rd Wednesday at 9:30 am, January through November. Meeting dates for 2023 are attached, and also listed on the Jardineros master calendar. Backyard Birders began in 2012 All members are welcome!
