Happy New Year!

Hopefully you and yours had a great holiday season. After a long hiatus, I'm recharged and ready to run. I'm excited about some new ideas for the Wildlife Porch.

Look for more profiles of plants, birds, and other critters this year, as well as the continuation of my problem-solving series from last year.

Also on the agenda is a practical, before-and-after series on small outdoor spaces using the new digs here at the Wildlife Porch.

I will be once again increasing the number of links to articles, sites, merchants, and products in a number of categories.

Also, I will be fixing several issues "under the hood", including those around contacting me.

"See" you next week!
