hears program on birds
The Open Gate Garden
Club met in the parlor of the
ARP Church on January 8.
Stella Ware, hostess, served
dessert to 12 members.
Jessie Collins, president,
welcomed members. She
introduced Lenora Morris
who presented a program
on “Birds.”
Lenora opened her pro-
gram by showing a large
poster of the most common
birds in North Carolina. She
stated that birds are “feath-
ered friends who pollinate
flowers and reduce the bug
population.” During the
winter, one should make
birds a gardening focal
point. They offer beauty and
life to the yard. Their songs
can brighten a gray, blustery
day.
As temperatures drop,
natural food supplies
become scarce and birds
must scratch the leaf littered
ground in search of seeds
and insects. Humans can
help them by supplying
food and water.
There are many different
types of seeds. Suet cakes,
dried fruits, peanuts and
mealworms may provide a
variety in their diet.
Sunflower seeds attract
many species of birds.
