Pam Karlson will use her widely published Birds in the Garden: Creating & Enjoying a Bird Oasis to illustrate how, even in a densely populated area like urban Chicago, she has attracted over 100 bird species and a wide variety of pollinators. In addition to native plant selection, her presentation will delve deeply into lesser examined aspects of habitat creation including nesting requirements, dietary needs, migratory routes, and various other forms of supplemental support. She will also discuss how tapping into community science can refine your efforts, and help you interpret the results.
