Online Webinar


Ashley Kennedy shares research from Doug Tallamy’s lab focused on bird-insect food webs. In this online webinar, learn about the food webs connecting plants, insects, and birds, see great photos of birds with their food, and learn how you can help by converting your yard into better wildlife habitat for these groups.

Your yard is beautiful, but is it contributing to the local ecosystem? To determine which insects are most important in bird diets, Ashley Kennedy conducted a citizen science project to crowd-source more than 7,000 images of birds with their arthropod prey. She will share information she learned about the food webs connecting plants, insects, and birds, as well as a sampling of the photos she collected. In this online webinar, learn how you can help by converting your yard into better wildlife habitat for these groups.
