Christmas for the Birds� at Town Creek Indian Mound Historic Site on Dec. 18 – Windy cold days, and long and colder nights are tough on birds, as summer�s lush vegetation has withered away and insects have died or gone dormant. Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site will help feed these feathered friends with its �Christmas for the Birds� .

This free program is on Saturday, Dec. 18, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Visitors can help create homemade pine cone bird feeders using suet and bird seed. They can also decorate trees along the site�s entrance with these festive �ornaments.�

Suet — raw beef fat — is one of the most popular bird foods because it is a quick source of heat and energy for the birds. The feeders will attract woodpeckers, wrens, chickadees, nuthatches, kinglets, thrashers, creepers, cardinals and starlings. For visitors feeling a little �puckish,� warm refreshments will be available in the gift shop while visitors browse for those last-minute gifts.

The mission of Town Creek Indian Mound is to interpret they history of American Indians who once lived in the area. For more than a thousand years, American Indians farmed lands later known as North Carolina . Inhabitants built earthen mounds for their leaders, in the tradition of Mississippian tribes. They also engaged in widespread trade, supported crafts people and celebrated a new form of religion. Key features of the site were reconstructed following archaeological excavations that began in 1937.

A national historic landmark, Town Creek features interpretive exhibits and audiovisual displays.

For additional info rmation and to schedule tours, call (910) 439-6802.
