Attracting Birds Close to Home
In this slide-illustrated program, Denise Hackert-Stoner and Scott Stoner cover the basics of attracting birds with food, water, and shelter. They cover types of feeders and feed, plantings and cover for birds, and common questions such as squirrels and hawks. Photographs show many of the common and less common backyard visitors to the northeast. Enjoy the show, and bring your questions!
