Native Plants for Native Birds is a collection of articles written over five years by Joel Baines for a column in the Cayuga Bird Club newsletter. The book includes stunning photos by David Ruppert and features articles full of practical information about plants native to the Ithaca area that attract birds, including preferred growing conditions, deer resistance, and more. It is a valuable resource to local gardeners who enjoy birds and want to convert their property to bird friendly, native plants.

All proceeds from the sale of the book will go toward Cayuga Bird Club projects, such as planting a native garden in Ithaca or building a kiosk similar to the one the club installed at Myers Point in Lansing.
