Bird Friendly – Stillwaters Style

Bird Friendly – Stillwaters Style

bird photoIt’s that time of year is here again – when our feathered friends come checking out birdhouses and looking for likely places to nest.  At my house I have two birdhouses that occasionally are occupied but for the better part of spring the viewing is the “looky loo” dance that goes on every day we have sunshine. 

This morning was one of those days with birds swooping and visiting the birdhouses.  I love watching this ballet of spring!

With so many residents in the neighborhood who put food out for the birds I think you can honestly say that Stillwaters Estates is a bird-friendly neighborhood.

Here are some interesting tips for making your backyard more bird-friendly.  This is from the Nature Conservancy:  http://blog.nature.org/conservancy/2013/05/07/how-to-create-a-bird-friendly-backyard/
