Filling your yard with beautiful song birds is fun and easy Getting ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), February 18-21, 2011 and staying ready to enjoy the Birding Capitol of Kentucky (BCK), all year long, with better feeding programs, better bird identification methods, and with attendance at one of three BCK University "Birding 101" Seminars: Details below. How author of Bird Watching had an epiphany in a small store in Madison, IN, with the introduction to "Birds of Kentucky,' by Stan Tekiela, which with a bag of black sunflower seeds, changed her life forever. By Barbara Armitage It's fun and easy to attract beautiful song birds to your yard the Adair County Garden Club way. About 10 years ago I was lucky enough to find myself in a little "nature" shop in Madison, Indiana. The shop owner was friendly and extremely knowledgeable so I told her about my sad attempts to feed the birds and asked for her advice. What was I doing wrong? I filled the feeder but it seemed that most of the seed just ended up on the ground in a moldy mess. I wasnt attracting the types of birds that I wanted and this unsatisfying experience was costing me a lot of money. The shop owner smiled and told me that I needed two things to begin bird watching. She handed me a "Birds of Kentucky" Field Guide by Stan Tekiela and a bag of black oil sunflower seeds. She also told me not to worry that I would learn more as I went along. I took her advice and within days my feeder was filled with happy birds. Since that time I have watched and read and learned. If youre new to feeding the birds this chart developed by the Adair County Garden Club will help you and your birds. It was designed with the most common birds in Adair County in mind. A quick glance shows what type of seed each bird prefers, what style feeder is best and even suggests some additional foods to complete your feeding station. There is even a simple solution to your feeding problems feed your birds our Adair County Wild Bird Seed Mix. This premium blend was designed specifically for the birds of Adair County and is sold exclusively by Day and Day Feed and Pet in Columbia. Attracting colorful birds to your yard can be a delightful and rewarding experience. Stay tuned for more information on feeding and enjoying your fine feathered friends. If youd like to learn more about feeding and identifying the birds attend one of the ACGCs Birding 101 classes. Three classes are being offered this year for your convenience. Birding 101 classes will be held at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY:
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Adair County Wild Bird Seed Mix helps support the Adair County Garden Clubs birding and gardening programs. These free classes are brought to our community by the Adair County Garden Club.-Barbara Armitage This story was posted on 2011-01-16 10:19:12
