It’s May and the great caterpillar factories of eastern North America are in full production. You’ll hear their engines humming as they munch away in woodlots or mature trees. For songbirds, this is a sign of the bounty that fuels mating, nest-building and parenting in our backyards. Join science writer and College Park resident Rick Borchelt for a look at some of the common birds that depend on these caterpillar factories in suburban landscapes. Part of the "Corridor Conversations" series from Hyattsville Aging in Place, Helping Hands University Park, Neighbors Helping Neighbors - College Park and Explorations on Aging.
