Putnam Highlands Audubon program for beginners

On Sunday, Dec. 7, at 10 a.m. at Hubbard Lodge on Route 9 (just north of Route 301), the Putnam Highlands Audubon Society is hosting a program on setting up and maintaining bird feeders for the many species of birds that over-winter in the area. With a small investment in seeds, a household can enjoy many hours of bird viewing and wildlife watching.

Scott Silver, director and curator of animals at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Queens Zoo, will introduce people who are new to bird feeding to the experience. He will outline some of the considerations for setting up a feeder and offer suggestions on identification.
