Birding is one of the nation's most popular outdoor activities. Birds are also an extremely important part of the environment, manifesting many impressive behaviors and adaptations, including migration, nesting, defense, courtship, and more. We'll examine Maryland's marvelously diverse birdlife, and also discuss some of the local threats they face, as many species are facing serious problems, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Learn how citizens can easily contribute to the scientific knowledge of ornithology through bird counts, feeder-watch programs, and nest-monitoring, and specific ways to attract feathered friends to your property.
