Welcome

I am currently developing a wildlife garden (a habitat, really, as it concerns much more than just gardening), and constantly reading on the subject in whatever manner I can acquire.  I've created this blog in order to log and share my thoughts, as well as to show and write about what happens to stop by.

The header above shows a bird that I refer to as 'my girl'; she is a hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus).  Both her and her mate will stop in to the suet feeder and will let you get within ten feet or so before leaving.

The hairy is one of more than two dozen bird species that visit, or have visited, our feeding stations.
