October 11, 2010: Proper Feeding of Our Visiting Backyard Feathered Friends

This week our column has gone to the birds! Especially at this time of year when we see so many migratory species in our backyards. So, we thought it a good idea to address the proper feeding of our visiting backyard feathered friends. Not every bird likes the same seed, fruit or nectar. And you have ground feeders, tree feeders and those that will come to a set feeder. Whichever species is visiting you, here are some great links to be the perfect dinner host as you fill the beaks of your bird friends at your next bird feeding banquet.
