  Attracting Birds
cardinal
To maximize the number of species that visit your feeders, you'll want to offer a variety of food. And offer it at different heights above the ground. Most birds that stay in cold regions in winter eat seeds.  Insects are hard to find in freezing weather. So in winter, offer a variety of seeds to the wild birds.

Fred Archibald Sanctuary

The Audubon Society of Central Maryland will sponsor a Nature Walk at the Fred Archibald Sanctuary in New Market. What could be better than a walk through sunny meadows on a cool, crisp autumn day? One can expect to see numerous birds on their way south for the winter, many of them feeding on the seeds of the tall warm-season grasses that fill the meadows. With luck, some hawks may be seen soaring overhead.

Meet at 9 a.m. at the Sanctuary entrance, which is on the east side of Boyer's Mill Road just one mile north of Rte. 144 in New Market. The walk will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather. For more information, contact Ron Polniaszek at 410-531-6658 or ron3pr@hotmail.com .
