New Bird Feeing Book!!
FeederWatcher's Guide to Bird Feeding
By Jack Griggs
and Margaret Barker

Each winter thousands of FeederWatchers identify birds attracted to their yards and record data about them. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology compiles the data into the largest existing database on backyard birds. No one has more hard facts on backyard birds than the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and no one knows more about attracting birds than the FeederWatchers.

Featured State/Province:
Indiana

Indiana Dunes State Park
41.66 N   87.06 W
The shoreline of southern Lake Michigan is a great spot for loons, grebes, gulls and shorebirds. In between the dunes are forested or swampy areas where migrants like to hide. Spring migration is good for hawk watchers.

Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge
38.96 N   85.82 W
Waterfowl love this place. During the migration season over 15,000 birds may be present at one time. Marshy habitat, open fields and woodlands result in a wide variety of passerines as well.  This Refuge is located between Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville.

Featured Hot Spot:
Malaysia & Borneo

Hornbills and Orang-utans. Whitehead's Spiderhunter and blood-sucking leeches. Sounds like fun to me!
