Horticulture Display Garden at the WCROC
Enjoy the vast world of backyard birdhouses! Birds rely on food, water and shelter - all of which we can provide in our own backyards. We'll discuss the various specifications of birdhouses for chickadees, wrens, bluebirds, wood ducks, and tree swallows. Learn why these amazing creatures need different types of houses to meet their shelter and nesting needs, where the best place to put your birdhouses are, and what you can do to protect the nesting birds from predators. Bring along your binoculars for an evening of bird watching in the Horticulture Display Garden!
Presented by Dr. Margaret Kuchenreuther, Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Minnesota Morris.
