Being in nature, pausing in it, sitting in it and discovering its wonders, brings a sense of calm and renewal. Discovering our bird friends is one way to accomplish all of this. Join Carroll County Master Gardener/Master Naturalist Nancy Gmitro for a three part series on birding. Topics to be covered include: Identification by sight and sound, types of feed and the birds they attract, and make your own bird feeder or house.
