Welcome to the Backyard Birding Page, a service of the Baltimore Bird Club. If you need to
know how
and what to feed the birds, or how large to make the entry hole on a
bluebird box, or which shrubs and flowers to plant in order to attract
birds, you've come to the right place. There are also yardlists and
journals from backyard birders, and links to other web sites of
interest.
