Birdie Day Care

What a glorious morning.  I woke up to dozens of birds in my backyard.  The bluebird babies had fledged and were bathing in some standing water.  The cardinal family was there, too.  All the babies playing in the water.  The blue jay family was shouting out very loud, purple martins flying very fast and furious and even a little tiny downy woodpecker was pecking away at the oak trees.
My chickadees were going chit, chit, chit and scolding all the activity.
My house sits in a 30 year old neighborhood in North Texas.  We have Oak and Elm trees that attract a lot of critters.  We do not use pesticides, so the birds come for the bugs.  And, my garden is full of big ol' night crawlers that the robins love to dig for.
Anyone can create a nature sanctuary in their backyard.  Just have some undergrowth, water source, bird houses and plants that seed, such as grasses.
