Summer is one of the best times to watch birds! By being Seasonally Savvy, you can provide a backyard habitat to attract birds to your yard, including migrating birds seen only in the spring and summer, and observe courtship, nesting, and baby birds that you won't see at other times of the year. We will discuss how to create a summertime habitat in your yard, including feeding stations, bird feeders, food, a water source, native plants, alternatives to pesticide spraying, as well as solutions to counteract nuisance birds and animals.
