## Resource

Backyard Gardening for Birds with guest Laura Erickson, Award-Winning Author, 100 Plants to Feed the Birds Native birds require native habitat, and the Spring season arrives with many opportunities to shop locally for native plant species that will support birds, pollinators and other important insect life... but how does one decide where to look and what to plant? Birding expert Laura Erickson combines indepth research with her own unique manner of storytelling to answer these questions. Erickson has received many national, state, local, and organization awards for her conservation and education work, as well as for her writing. She has written thirteen books about birds and was a columnist and contributing editor for BirdWatching magazine. She is the recipient of the American Horticultural Society’s Book Award (in 2023) for 100 Plants to Feed the Birds. Since 1986 Erickson has been producing the long-running “For the Birds” radio program, played on many public and community radio stations. Her website provides access to her books, articles, photos and podcasts, as well as her bird search app. She has been a scientist, teacher, writer, licensed wildlife rehabilitator, blogger, public speaker, photographer, Science Editor at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and contributor to the popular Journey North educational website. This podcast will inspire both birders and gardeners.
