Q. I enjoy and look forward to reading your monthly article in Ohio Cooperative Living magazine every month. I have lived in Logan County (Jefferson Township) for 20 years. I have been a bird watcher all my life and have been submitting daily counts of the birds I observe to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for the past five years.

Ohio Cooperative Living magazine readers are fascinated with wild birds. I know that because each time I write an “Ask Chip” column about birds or birding, questions/comments from readers abound. Last month — May 2023 — was no exception. My monthly Woods, Waters & Wildlife column featured orioles and how to attract them to backyard birdfeeders in a story titled “Looking Good in Orange.”
