Which Wild Berries are Best for Songbirds Migrating South in the Fall?
Fenner Nature Center, 2020 E. Mount Hope Ave., Lansing, MI 48910, USA
Our guest speaker will be Bonnie Brit, Outreach and Education Coordinator, Burke Lake Banding Station in Bath, Michigan.
http://www.burkelakebanding.com
Many people add native plants to their gardens to help birds. Native plants support the insects that birds rely on especially when raising their young. Many birds eat seeds and berries too, especially when they are fattening up for the fall migration. This presentation will help gardeners select the best fruit bearing plants to provide birds with the nutrition they need on their long trip south.
All are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be provided.
