Amelia Betts and Katharine Kelley, longtime Baldwin bird enthusiasts, host a thriving backyard habitat at 911 Dearborn with multiple feeders, nesting boxes, and year round water. Betts, former Kansas Ornithological Society secretary, and Kelley, a licensed bird bander, study species such as pine siskins and Harris sparrows in coordinated Fish and Wildlife Service efforts.

How To Make Your Own Birdhouses
Foresters, park crews, and gardeners cut dead trees, leaving hole-nesting birds with fewer homes. Build boxes from 3/4 to 1 inch wood, use brass screws, drill drainage holes, and paint externally with dark greens, grays, browns, or white to reflect sun. Place birdhouses at least 25 feet apart for nesting season from March through August.
