Book Signing Tour @ Wild Birds Unlimited Lexington Park

Meet Jim Carpenter, founder of Wild Birds Unlimited and author of the second edition of The Joy of Bird Feeding! Locally owned by Marine Corps veterans Barb and Chip Whipkey, Wild Birds Unlimited is welcoming Jim to Southern Maryland for a special visit to the Lexington Park location.

Talk: 3–3:30 p.m. | Book signing: 3:30–6 p.m.

The Joy of Bird Feeding: The Essential Guide to Attracting and Feeding Our Backyard Birds offers practical guidance for attracting and identifying birds, choosing foods for the birds you hope to see, and addressing common feeding challenges. It is a resource for people putting up their first feeder as well as longtime backyard bird watchers.

For store owners Barb and Chip Whipkey, this visit is especially meaningful. Barb has been hoping to bring Carpenter to Southern Maryland for more than 11 years. Now, the couple and their teams can share that experience with the customers who have helped make both stores gathering places for local bird lovers.
