MARION — In February, the Marion Natural History Museum will teach anyone who is interested how to participate in a free backyard bird watching event for bird watchers of all ages. 

During an hour-long Zoom event on Feb. 10 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., participants will learn how to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count — a free, fun and easy annual citizen science event where people count birds to create a real-time snapshot of bird populations.

Those who attend the virtual event will learn how to identify birds and record their findings. Participants will become citizen scientists while having fun in their own backyard or local park! The Marion Natural History Museum will share resources, apps, tips and tricks on how to identify birds.

Justin Barrett of Manomet, Inc. and president of the Nasketucket Bird Club, located in Mattapoisett, will give the presentation.
