In case you missed it, we had a PHENOMENAL speaker in last week to talk about the many ways of attracting different species of birds to your property.  Georgeann Schmalz walked through a number of different topics and gave out some great information, including info on her Birding Adventures trips to the National Forest in our area.  In the event you missed it, I have some a free pdf I will be happy to email you, as well as a poster (in pdf format) that is available for $3.  The poster is out of print, but includes a number of plants and birds and tells you what plants attract what birds.  The one new thing I'm taking home from the event is that if you want to put up a screech owl house, make the hole 3" in diameter, place it 15-20ft up and have the hole facing another tree, so that the young owls will be better acquainted with their surroundings.  Good stuff!  Join us for our next adventure on March 12th to the NGCSU Planetarium and Observatory.  Hopefully we'll have good weather and get to look out the telescope!
