About this Presentation:

Bird populations are an important indicator of the health of our environment. Most of us enjoy attracting birds to our yards, but caring for songbirds entails much more than installing a feeder. Learn how to support bird populations, whether you live near the Coast. the Mountains, or the Piedmont. This presentation will focus on bird species common to each of the three NC biomes and bird friendly features and plants we can add to our yards to create a bird-friendly habitat. Handouts will be provided to participants.

The presentation will be recorded for 

members to view later in our Video Library.
