Wisdom on cultivating backyard bird habitats, what we can learn from nesting studies, and an invitation to join us for the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count (THIS weekend!) with the brilliant Becca Rodomsky-Bish. PLUS: what should we feed our hummingbirds and what's another name for an American woodcock?
