Hey, just like you and me, wildlife need water too!
It's very important that you provide year-round, a daily source of clean water. Not only for drinking and bathing, but some species require water for breeding. NO! I’m not talking about Mosquitoes.
The most common and easy method of providing water is by placing various birdbaths in the garden. If you really want to bring your backyard garden wildlife habitat to life; build a garden water pond.
Details on "How to Build a Pond" coming soon.
Heck, I’m using my old satellite dish. Now that’s being resourceful - not to mention environmentally conscience!!
Do you have a brush-pile in your yard? Perfect!!
Brush-piles are a perfect way to give wildlife needed protection from predators and against the elements - especially our wildbirds that do not migrate. You can provide coverage by planting densely branched bushes, shrubs and evergreens.
Don’t be so quick to cut down that “SNAG” also known as a "dead tree". What a beautiful home that gives to our woodpeckers and other cavity nesting birds.
- That reminds me of a funny story about good friends of mine, she too, is a Backyard Birder. Well, they have this tall, thin, dead tree that is close to their deck and you can see by looking at it, that the woodpeckers throughly enjoy it. They have a perfect view of the tree out their window that you can just sit and watch the action. Well, one day her husband mentioned to her that he wanted to cut down that dead old ugly tree. His verson of what she told him is what's so funny, but I'll keep it real clean. Basically, he might has well cut off his own ...... if he cuts that dead tree down. Well, that tree is still standing.

Trees, Trees, and Evergreens.
I have a 40ft Blue Spruce that is home to 100’s of birds.
It’s truly amazing the variety of birds that fly-in and fly-out, kinda like O’Hare Airport!!!!
NESTING BOXES are critical to our beautiful Bluebirds and to our magnificent Purple Martins. These boxes are made with specific hole openings tailored to the type of birds you wish to attract and they must be hung at a specific height. More details to come on that subject.
HOSTING PLANTS for butterflies
Not only do butterflies require nectar producing plants but they also have specific plant requirements that they will lay their eggs on. Picky little things!!
