Along with greenery upgrades to the landscape, CG has invested in habitat enhancing structures for his local avian friends. Two bird feeders were installed on the back fence and stocked with seed. ($4 apiece from wal mart...the feed was more expensive than the feeders)
On rainy and cold days, the birds take-over watch of the plants, and now, they can have a good snack while they fulfill their duties.
Sparrows are welcomed, but it's nice to see different birds as well.
While the birds establish a pecking order on the feeders, the nearby shrubs are becoming more popular for hang-outs. CG's gardening assistant really enjoys watching the backyard stirring with flight and chirping with song.
