FEATURED from Extension Publications Bird Feeding—Tips for Beginners and Veterans (G3176) Nearly 55 million Americans fed wild birds and other wildlife in 2006—spending $3.3 billion in the process. That figure has continued a steady upward trend. Extension wildlife specialists Scott Craven, David Drake and Jamie Nack take a closer look at birds close to home with the goal of helping you create a bird-friendly haven in your own backyard. This colorful publication contains updated information on migratory and year-round avian visitors, as well as tips on the right foods to offer, the best feeders and equipment to choose and ways to maximize safety for the birds. http://learningstore.uwex.edu/Bird-FeedingTips-for-Beginners-Veterans-P1252C124.aspx To order and view more publications, visit http://learningstore.uwex.edu

Collaboration between county and campus faculty is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin.
