Happy New Year!

My last accomplishment of 2010 was figuring out how to make a rudimentary You Tube video. Ta Da! Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKHgr3SIMMY

And my book about urban wildlife is now on Amazon.com, available to order for the February 1 release. YAY! Here is the link: Amazon.com: Field Guide to Urban Wildlife (Thorndike Basic) (9780811705851): Julie Feinstein: Books


The stinging rose caterpillar could pass as a Christmas ornament!

    Hi Rona! Thanks!

    You can gradually accustom the birds to your presence by scattering food and staying close enough for them to see you but far enough that they will come and eat. Get closer over successive feeding times and eventually they will not flee when you move. It takes time and patience but once they are used to you, you can get very close without scattering them.
