This month the members of The Garden Club of Newtown will focus on birds with Margaret Robbins and her presentation Getting your Garden Ready for the Returning Birds on Tuesday March 27th at 1pm in the first floor meeting room of the Cyrenius H. Booth Library.
Margaret Robbins of Wild Birds Unlimited plans to talk about plants that are beneficial to hummingbirds and other birds for food or shelter. She will also discuss the importance of providing birds with water all year long and will include many tips and tricks on attracting specific types of birds to your yard.
Watching her parents' bird feeders began Mrs. Robbins' fascination with birds at a very young age. An avid bird feeder and birder with a life list of over 400 different species, she studied bird biology at Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology and has taught incubation and embryology. Before opening Wild Birds unlimited, she was employed by the National Audubon Society at their Greenwich, CT center and also led Audubon birding tours along the New England Coast and on the Baja Peninsula. She now leads local bird walks in the Greater Danbury area as well as birding tours to Southeast Arizona.
