The Birdman Of Julian Speaks At The Library - Saturday
The Julian Branch Library will welcome Rick Campbell from the Birdwatcher Nature Store to speak about Wild Bird feeding in the Julian area. The talk will take place on Saturday, August 27 at 11 AM. This informational talk will cover the local birds of San Diego County and how to attract them to your yard. The Campbell’s recently donated two “Quick Guide” bird identification cards that can be checked out at the Julian Branch. It is a pleasure to have local businesses volunteer to share their expertise so we can better take care of the nature that is in our yards. The Julian library is located at 1850 Highway 78, next to the high school. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, August 27 at 11 AM. For more information you may contact the branch at 760-765-0370 or the Birdwatcher at 765-1817.
