On January 13 children and their parents and caretakers learned to identify some of Northeast Florida’s most common backyard birds by their calls. Did you know the Northern Cardinal has sixteen different calls, and that only male Carolina Wrens sing?
After a presentation by Garden Divas Secretary Connie Long, where she shared her years of experience identifying and photographing birds, children broke into groups for activities including making a suet, and bird watching during a walk through the Garden Club’s campus.
