Attracting Birds & Butterflies [antikvár]

To songbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, and other wildlife, the typical suburban landscape resembles an unfriendly desert. Close-cropped lawns, sheared foundation shrubs, and deadheaded flowers mean no place to nest, no food to eat, and nowhere to hide. Fortunately, any landscape can become a haven for winged wildlife and for the people that share it. Wildlife-friendly yards and gardens are filled with flowers from spring to frost, brilliant berries, and glistening water along with dazzling birds and butterflies. Since lower maintenance is another advantage, its easy to see how both wildlife and people benefit. Use this book as a guide to help you plant a landscape that welcomes winged wildlife. In the process, you'll create a garden that enriches your own life as well.In winter, a female cardinal is attracted to a heavily laden branch of pyracantha berries.
