Birds, our beautiful feathered friends need our help! Did you know that more than one quarter of America’s birds are in trouble or decline? They are vulnerable due to a combination of decreasing populations, restricted ranges, and significant threats. By visiting birding locations and learning more about their needs we may be able to help them.
Here are some ideas for creating a bird-friendly habitat:
- Invasive non-native plant species are removed (especially those with rank 1 or 2 on this list: http://www.ncwildflower.org/invasives/list.htm).
- Plentiful food for birds is available (insects, fruits, berries, nuts, native grass seeds, supplemental feeders with suet, seeds, hummingbird nectar).
- Fresh water is available (lakes, ponds, streams, bird baths).
- Safe nesting sites are available (mature native trees, dense shrubs and thickets, dead or dying trees/snags, nesting boxes).
- Shelter from bad weather and cover to escape predators is available (dense shrubs/thickets, brush piles, wooded areas, ground cover, roosting boxes).
