In 1994, February was declared National Bird Feeding Month to help birds survive the winter as food and shelter are harder to find during the colder months. Here in Northwest Ohio we are fortunate to be the home of many interesting birds. These books can help you create an inviting space for the birds in your area through ideas on DIY bird feeders and houses, tips on feeding birds through seeds and plants, guides to help you identify different birds, and more.
