<b>Birds of Winter: <br>
<br>
</b>If you think that winter is a slow time for birds on Cape Cod, well
think again! Fresh and saltwater ducks, loons, and grebes are
plentiful on open water throughout the season, and your feeders are alive
with an assortment of songbirds including sparrows and finches. This
presentation will provide an overview of the common birds seen on Cape
Cod in winter, as well as discuss best bird-feeding practices to attract
them to your backyard.<br><br>
Orleans native Christine Harris Bates is a naturalist and public
programs coordinator with Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Prior to
working for Wellfleet Bay, Christine was a Park Ranger at the Cape Cod
National Seashore and coordinated and led canoe trips in Nauset Marsh.
She has a passion for ornithology and is a skilled birder. <br>
