September is the busiest month for songbird migration Millions of migrating songbirds are nightly traveling overhead beneath the garden universe of stars they use to guide themselves to their overwintering destinations. Many of them just hatched this spring, and, unfamiliar with the route, they rely most heavily on the stars to guide them. Last year's District IV Newsletter described efforts to help them achieve safe passage in order to welcome them back in the spring once again to sing in your garden.
The Garden Club of Switzerland would like to welcome members of the public, including St. Augustine Garden Club members, to attend our first presentation: Elizabeth Filipelli, Conservation Director for Duval Audubon. She will discuss the perils of light pollution and glass to migrating bird collisions and will provide information on how humans can help. St Johns County Master Gardeners may apply for 1 CEU Credit.
Bartram Trail Library 60 Davis Pond Blvd, Fruit Cove 10AM 9/18
additional opportunity to tour the Native Plant Garden at Alpine Groves afterwards.
