[cayugabirds-l] what you can do for birds

[Jody Enck]

Hi all,

Perhaps you already have seen this information from Audubon, but I wanted
to make sure you have access to it.  It provides some hints for making your
yard even more bird-friendly.

https://www.audubon.org/news/how-make-your-yard-bird-friendly-0

I know many of you already do things around where you live.
Here are some additional suggestions as we enter the fall season.
Try to leave some area of your yard unraked of leaves.  Leaf cover is where
many insects overwinter, and those insects (many are pollinators) also
provide bird food for early season migrating birds next spring.

Consider turning off any unnecessary outside lights this time of year as
night time lights disorient migrating birds See this link for more info
https://birdcast.info/science-to-action/lights-out/heres-how-you-can-make-a-difference/


Another suggestion is to help reduce bird-window collisions.  Here are some
helpful hints:

If you have interest in getting involved with the conservation action
committee of the Cayuga Bird Club, please drop me a line.

Good birding
Jody
