Go beyond bird feeders! Learn how to create outstanding bird
habitats in your own yard with native plants that offer food,
cover, and nesting sites for birds. This guide is packed with color
photographs, sage advice, detailed instructions, and garden plans.
It features nine different habitat gardens for hummingbirds,
bluebirds, wintering birds, migrant birds, and birds that frequent
prairies, wetlands, lakes, shrublands, and woodlands, along with
advice about maintaining your plantings and augmenting them with
nest boxes, birdbaths, misters, and perches. The information on
recommended plant species includes their native ranges in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin;
the birds they attract; their visual characteristics; and their
cultivation. Mariette Nowak also describes how gardeners featured
in this book have gone beyond their own garden gates to work for
the protection and restoration of bird habitat in their
neighborhoods and communities. Birdscaping in the Midwest provides
many sources of further information, including publications, web
sites, organizations, and native plant nurseries.
