Natasia Moore, an Urban Wildlife Biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife, will talk about the importance of birds, how they’re affected by urbanization, and ways in which residents can provide habitat for birds in their own backyards. She will identify some common urban and suburban birds and native plants that are beneficial to them. Ms. Moore also will discuss key considerations when providing birds with supplemental resources, such as food, water, and shelter. This meeting will be held in person and be accessible on line. Full details are available here.

Ms. Moore received her Bachelor’s degree in Natural Resources Management and a Master’s degree in Wildlife, Aquatics, and Wildland Science and Management from Texas Tech University. Her research interests include ecological effects of urban development, specifically as it relates to raptors and other avian species. [HLBWS members may recall having enjoyed a presentation by Ms. Moore, last spring, about what urban biologists do in the course of their work.]
