McLEAN --
Not sure what birds are visiting your feeders, or just need a
refresher? Join Janet Rasmussen, trained by the Grand Prairie Master
Naturalist program, at a workshop to learn how to identify more than
30 winter residents as well as how to attract them. Workshop
participants will also receive a log feeder and learn how to make
peanut butter suet -- a favorite of woodpeckers and nuthatches.
