Library Community,
Did
you know that your backyard is home to wonderful native wildlife? On
Monday, May 1st, at 7pm, the Livingston Library invites you to join us
in the Library’s program room for a lecture on The Joys of Backyard
Birding.
During
this lecture you will learn both how to identify and how to feed the
birds that pay your backyard a visit. You will also learn what
feeders and food combinations work the best to attract specific bird
types to your yard such as cardinals, blue jays, chickadees and more!
Physical examples of feeders and feeder setups will also be displayed
during this informative talk. All are welcome and registration is not
required for this Friends Funded event.
