Attracting Birds to Your Backyard
On Feb. 21, the library will host Attracting Birds to Your Backyard, presented by Doug Clarke of the Jackson Chapter of the Audubon Society in the library meeting room from noon to 1 p.m.
Clarke will be giving a presentation on the topic of attracting birds to your backyard. Doug is a retired biologist, following a career of over thirty years in the Environmental Laboratory at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg. As he approached retirement he took up wildlife photography as a hobby, which was a natural fit with the interests of his wife Joan, a life-long birder. He quickly became addicted to photographing birds, butterflies, dragonflies and other creatures. They have traveled extensively throughout North and South America seeking out and photographing birds, but find their backyard every bit as “birdy” as many destinations. Over the years he and Joan have transformed their yard to attract birds on a year-round basis. Doug will share insights on how to responsibly attract birds as well as some of his approaches to photographing them. He is an active member of the Jackson Chapter of the Audubon Society and hopes to demonstrate how much joy can be derived from observing these beautiful and entertaining creatures.
