Hernando Audubon Meeting: Backyard Birdfeeding 101

Lucy Polak and Greg Williams, both from Wild Birds Unlimited, will explain that the essential elements of attracting birds to a yard are food, water, shelter, and nesting opportunity. Different types of feeders offering a variety of food, ranging from seed and peanuts to suet and mealworms, will attract more birds to a backyard. The speakers will talk about the importance of offering water and nesting boxes. Bringing nature into a backyard allows a resident to watch and enjoy birds close up, as well as helping the birds in our ever more challenging environment.
