CALLING ALL BACKYARD BIRD WATCHERS!  Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology is collecting data from everyday bird watchers to track bird populations.  You can sign up at www.feederwatch.org and the project runs November through April.  The website itself is wonderful with all its resources!  Cornell also has a great free phone app called “Merlin” for identifying birds even by sound.  We have a great resource that will help you select the correct birdseed for your feathery friends: ATTRACTING BIRDS TO THE LANDSCAPE

We are the Hoffman Estates Garden Club (HEGC), working since 1957 to promote an interest in gardening and share our knowledge.  Click here to read the article, “The History of the Hoffman Estates Garden Club” posted in the  March/April 2022 issue of the Hoffman Estates Citizen newsletter.
