It's springtime - what will you do to attract wildlife to your porch, patio, deck, or balcony this year?

If you've got a plan, let me know (see the contact link at the top of the page).

Otherwise, check out the following ideas:

1. Install and fill a tube bird feeder like this 4-lb capacity feeder, using black-oil sunflower seed or safflower seed
2. Buy a container of butterfly-attracting annuals -- look for some combination of zinnias, cosmos, impatiens, moss rose, dwarf sunflowers, and nasturtiums.
3. Install a birdbath
4. Grow a wildlife-attracting vine like the annual scarlet runner bean for hummingbirds
5. Move the water in an existing birdbath with a dripper, mister, bubbler, or wave action device.
