Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Bluebird Brood(s) 2011
I finally got a shot of one of the bluebirds. He was perched on the second nestbox...which had only a half-built nest last time I checked. (I guess I never got around to posting those pics.)
The five--count 'em five--eggs (pictured below) were laid in the first nestbox (the one farthest from the house). The third, newly set up box was still empty last time I checked, but I hope the tree swallows will stay and nest there.
