     Over 60 people turned out at the Nov. 10 Birdfeeding Workshop and Slide Show, "The 
     
     Birds of Christmas". Co-sponsored by the Natural History Society and the Island Nature 
     
     Trust, the workshop was led by Geoff Hogan and Dan McAskill, and new and old birders 
     
     alike picked up information on what you might see and how to make your feeding station 
     
     most attractive to birds. There were many handouts available on the food preferences of 
     
     various birds, types of feeders and how to tell what type of bird you've got at your 
     
     feeder. The workshop also stressed the responsibilities that you take on when feeding 
     
     birds, such as keeping some kind of cover near by (but not tog_near) to protect birds 
     
     from feeding felines; maintaining the feeding throughout the winter; and being careful 
     
     when choosing feeders (no bare metal or mesh not covered by plastic). There was a good 
     
     selection of books and tapes available for people to buy. and also many examples of the 
     
     feeders that can be bought or made. Plans for feeders were also available. Hopefully, 
     
     these or similar workshops will become a regular event for those of us who like to see
