Breakfast with the Birds
We can help you identify the birds in your yard!

Are you having trouble trying to figure out what all those species of birds are under your feeders or around your yard?

Well, Bill and Nancy will be glad to help. All that is required is an invitation and a cup of early morning coffee.  We can also help you with your feeding station placement! 

Give us a call or stop by the bird store and schedule a time for bird watching and morning coffee. We will come to your house and either sit with you in the morning and watch your feeder or take a walk around your yard with you to help you to identify all those confusing little birds. You provide the coffee and we will bring our field guides, binoculars and knowledge to help you enjoy your backyard nature even more.

We would love to see you at one of our events, all skill levels are welcome.

Please call Wild Bird Crossing at  (508) 347-BIRD to let us know you are coming or for directions.

It's a good idea to call the store the day before a walk to make sure there haven't been any last minute changes.

Happy Birding!
Bill & Nancy
