Fluff up your feathers and explore birds in winter. The winter months are a great time for backyard birding. Come to Mud Creek ELC and create your own bird feeder from recycled materials. Feeding birds in winter is fun and helps birds during the harsh conditions the season brings. Learn about common backyard birds, feeding tips, and ways to attract birds to your property. We will take a stroll along the trail in search of birds, too. Columbia County Soil and Water Conservation District (www.ccswcd.org) provides educational programs and services to help residents and communities manage and protect the natural resources of Columbia County. Please contact Pamela Price at 518-267-3313 by Thursday, January 10 at 1 p.m. to participate.
