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.

Here to Stay
After a week or two of seeing a tree swallow popping its head out of the nestbox, I had yet to observe any signs of a nest being built inside. The other day, they were agitated at my walking past the nestbox. Today, I spotted them perched on an electrical wire. After snapping a few pictures, coming inside, and uploading them to the computer, I noticed there was a piece of dried grass in one's beak. Looks like they are building a nest and are here to stay. :)
