My husband and I are very senior citizens living in a retirement community and can no longer travel to our favorite birding sites. I hired a gardener to make our very small back yard into a nature preserve. He created gardens by planting all native flowers and shrubs. Now we have many birds 12 months a year entertaining us! This fall the Cardinals, Finches, Cedar Waxwings and Squirrels all enjoyed the berries.
