Northern CardinalGarland’s, Park St., Rutland, 8 AM-1 PM
Blue Seal Feeds, Rt. 7, Brandon, 9 AM- 2PM
On November 7 we will hold our annual Audubon Seed Sales at Garland’s in Rutland and Blue Seal Feeds in Brandon. The sales have been an annual event since long before I became active in Rutland Audubon. Many of you have been loyally coming to our seed sales year after year. Thank you! We appreciate your business. The profits from our sales go to running our chapter. We try hard to keep our expenses down so we can spend more time protecting birds and less time fund raising. We expect prices to be lower this year due to a bumper crop.
Another big thank-you to our seed sale hosts - Garland’s Agway in Rutland and Blue Seal Feeds in Brandon are vital supporters of Rutland Audubon. They forgo their seed sale profits for the day to give us this opportunity. We thank them and hope you will give them other business in recognition of their contribution.
The seed sale is also a good time to join our chapter. We give a free birdhouse to anyone who joins during the sale so the membership cost is really minimal. You can get your fall seed from us at whichever location is best for you. Along with supporting our efforts you will be feeding the birds during winter, their most vulnerable time. While you are there, bring us a bird story. We love talking about the birds and any of the many antics we see all the time through careful observation.
We want birding to be fun while we use citizen science to help protect the birds and their habitats.
