| Binocular Tuneup |

Give your binoculars a tuneup, and they'll show you
a sharper picture. If you haven't already set the
diopter adjustment, you can improve the way your
binoculars focus. Here's how to make sure both sides
of your binocular focus at the same distance.

Dear Bird Lady: I've hung up some really nice bird feeders and
filled them with different kinds of bird seed. A couple of birds
have come by, but that's all. What am I doing wrong, and why
don't the birds notice my feeders? -- Suzette B., Missoula MT
You're probably not doing anything wrong. The birds will come.
The thing is, they don't need feeders very much right now,
because wild seeds and berries at are their maximum for the
year. But that's no reason not to put out food. What you do in
fall will determine how many birds will come in winter.

Warbler Month! |
|
|
|
September is warbler month. Small,
gorgeous, and elusive, the jewels of the treetops are making
their way south.
Many warblers nest in Canada and the northern
states. For most of the continent, our best chance to see them
is during their annual migrations.
Lucky for us, warblers linger more in fall than they did in
spring, giving us a wider window of opportunity to enjoy them.
But don't put it off. When they're gone, they're gone -- until
next spring.
