Nature Walk: Bird Feeding

By Taylor on March 3, 2015 in Blog

“Year around feeding of song and game birds is practiced across the country. According to the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, bird feeding has been an American tradition for more than 150 years. There are a wide variety of feeders one can hang from poles strategically placed on one's yard; however, one can often attract more species and larger numbers by placing food on the ground. It is familiar territory for common winter visitors such as the dark-eyed junco.” – Carl Kurtz
