Local yard birds attract 124 species with 17 feeders
The Kupiec family feeds birds year round, using about 50 pounds of seed every three days for 17 feeders. They buy mostly black oil sunflower and mixed seed, including suet and apples, and report 124 species sighted in their yard, from songbirds to bald eagles. Water in winter helps, and apartment dwellers can start with a simple feeder set for about $20.

Rend Lake goose zone closes early in Illinois hunt
The Rend Lake Quota Zone in Southern Illinois closed at 3 p.m. Sunday after 2,152 Canada geese were killed, 52 over the quota. Harvests show Rend Lake drew most geese as warm weather lured birds north while other areas remained open until a Thursday closure. The season ends with a conservation order allowing calls and unplugged shotguns through March 31 for light geese.
