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.

Nest Boxes
After seeing bluebird's nests being built in both of the nest boxes, I put up a third one (the one that I took down from a less than ideal place for attracting bluebirds). A short time after setting it up, I saw a female bluebird checking it out. I guess I never posted the pictures of the nests or the new box--like several other posts that I never seem to get around to.
Today, I spotted a tree swallow sticking its head out of the hole of the third, newest box. I actually got a picture this time...though not a great one. :)
