Bird Feeding Basics

DERBY — Do you enjoy watching birds? Would you like to attract more birds to your own backyard?

A program all about feeding birds will be presented on Saturday, November 4 from 10 to 11:30 am, at Kellogg Environmental Center. Participants will first take a Saturday morning bird walk to look for popular feeder birds. They will also learn how to create simple backyard feeders to attract a variety of birds to their own backyards and find out about Cornell University’s national “Project Feeder Watch” program.

The program is free, but preregistration is required. To register or for more information, call 734-2513. The Kellogg Environmental Center, operated by the DEP’s Office of Communications and Education, is at 500 Hawthorne Avenue, off Route 34.
