Introduction

When I moved with my husband to upstate New York several years ago, I brought along a lifetime interest in bird identification. It was not long before our 1½-acre plot, adjoining a small swamp area, meadow, and woods, became the focus of serious back yard bird watching. Our property is particularly attractive to bird life, with well-established ash, dogwood, hickory, juniper, magnolia, maple, oak, spruce, sumac, and many other berry-bearing and nut-bearing trees and shrubs. To these we have added annual and perennial flowers and herbs. The lawn is a compact mass of chickweed, crab-grass, dandelion, dock, plantain, sorrel, wild strawberry, vetch, and vilet. The edges of the woodland and hedgerows are crowded with clover, goldenrod, jewelweed, milkweed, mullein, phlox, and many other wildflowers. It is, indeed, a garden plentiful with natural food for birds in summer and fall.

To enhance nature’s bounty we have supplied a small pond, birdbaths, well-stocked feeders, and nesting boxes. When we are privileged to witness the birds’ territorial claims, courtship, nesting, and parenting habits, we feel all our kind and conscientious efforts are worthwhile. Yet, there is a giant bonus in cultivating the friendship of birds. What is not always obvious in the beginning is soon apparent after a summer or two — the birds provide a most effective ecological control of insects, weeds, and small rodents in the gardens and orchards. In the spring, with young in the nest, meat-eating birds feed voraciously on the insect and grub population. During late summer and autumn, there are many seed-eaters that do a handsome job of cleaning up the weeds. The result is a naturally healthy garden.

Birds can be attracted to your home if you offer food, water, and shelter. Trees and shrubs that yield fruit, berries, seeds, nuts, and cones will provide food. Tangles of wild plants and dense undergrowth left to thrive in chosen areas of your property, log piles, dead trees, and stacked branches will provide shelter, protection, and natural nesting and roosting sites.
