BIRD HUGGER

Spooky! Scary! Happy Halloween! Celebrate Halloween with us as we tell a scary story about the Baobhan Sith of the Scottish Highlands and learn how to make a pumpkin bird feeder. Also in this episode: an interview with Dr. Christine Sheppard from the American Bird Conservancy about how to make your glass windows safe for birds; a discussion about why it's so important to leave the leaves; and a talk about the International Dark-Sky Association's efforts to keep the nighttime skies dark to benefit wildlife. Join host Catherine Greenleaf, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with 20 years of experience rescuing and rehabilitating injured wildlife, for twice-monthly discussions on restoring native habitat to help the birds in your backyard. Bird calls courtesy of Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Thank you to the National Audubon Society for instructions on making a pumpkin bird feeder.
