      <image:title>Featured News - Creating a Bird Friendly Yard - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the author’s garden in Central Maryland’s Montgomery County, pink Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) and Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) love a sunny spot together. Obedient plant attracts long-tongued bees, like bumble bees, and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.  The author, Christine Morano Magee, is Director of Education for Dumbarton Oak’s Park Conservancy in Washington, DC. She is a Maryland Master Gardener and Master Naturalist, a DC Weed Warrior, and an apprentice with the University of Maryland Extension Service’s Bay-Wise Living Landscapes Program. She and her husband live on four acres in Montgomery County, where she enjoys her vegetable garden and gardening for the birds. “We have been trying to reclaim our yard from turf for a long time, putting in trees and native plants, but we have a long way to go!” Christine is one of MBCP’s new board members.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In Western Maryland’s Washington County, MBCP Director Gabriel Foley and his wife Jordan Rutter’s native plant beds include Cut-leaf Coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata), Joe Pyeweed (Eutrochium spp.), Gorgeous Coreopsis (Tickseed), various milkweeds, and more. They purchase their plants from local master gardener sales to ensure the plants are native and appropriate for the conditions in their yard, “and to support these great groups,” Jordan added.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Featured News - Creating a Bird Friendly Yard - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>After converting 1000 square feet of his front lawn in Montgomery County to a native pollinator garden, MBCP Board President Gaurav Kapoor decided his backyard needed some love. Gaurav and birds both enjoy moving water so he layered some pots, filled them with stones, and incorporated a pump to keep the water moving. He added moisture-loving plants in pots such as swamp sunflower, rushes, and lizards tail. The water feature attracts typical backyard birds, like the Northern Cardinal in this photo. Over the winter, Gaurav kept the water moving with a heater, which worked until the snowstorm. Dark-eyed Juncos still found their way to the water!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Sora Whisperer: The Hunt for the Elusive Sora Rail - I was thrilled to have the opportunity to release a banded Sora and get an up close view of its tiny chicken like self ( they are smaller than Robins!). Greg’s trap design is based on the Sora Rail’s gregarious nature, apparently they find each other through their calls and will walk down a guided path into the trap to see who is calling.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - How I became an Inadvertent Birder: an introduction to the author, Pamela Kellett - As I was reading one of the many environmental magazines that arrive in my mailbox each month I came across a sentence describing the demographic of a typical birder as a ”50-year-old white woman living in the U.S.” Wait a minute! That perfectly described me! I thought a stereotypical birder was a 70-year-old British guy in a khaki vest! How did this happen?</image:title>
