ATTRACTING BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES & OTHER WINGED WONDERS By Kris Wetheree
This well-illustrated guide will help novices develop wildlife gardens that range from relatively easy start-ups such as container planting all the way to planned wildlife sanctuaries. The basics of creating a welcoming wildlife habitat, after all, are the same, whether large or small in scope: food, fresh water, protective cover, and cozy shelter. All-weather shelter and plentiful year-round food are most likely to entice winged creatures to visit, even to stay and nest. Trees and shrubs are major players, serving as host plants to butterflies and moths as well as shelters, nesting sites, and sources of materials and edibles, and their selection and planting techniques are clearly demonstrated. Vital additions of grasses, ground covers, vines, bug baths, and birdbaths can be used to build miniature backyard wetlands. The authors also present detailed directions for building nest shelves and boxes, and illustrated wildlife profiles, in this essential, attractive, and delightful resource.
