During full summer the hummingbird feeders are really more for my enjoyment since I have created a wonderful habitat at our place. I used all the ideas and tips I got from the Yardmap Habitat Network to be certain my birds never really need to rely on supplemental feeders.
10 months later, I still can’t understand why Cornell decided the project we use to build and teach the importance of habitat was no longer worth funding. I’ll never understand that decision. Build habitat. Protect habitat!

Pardon me!
Thanks so much for this comment. Habitat Network was an amazing tool to help people build wildlife habitat in their yards. I learned so much about how to improve my habitat for birds, insects and other wildlife.
