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.

Birds & Berries
While at the patch, there was a lot of excitement from the birds. I'm sure they were hoping I wouldn't strip the bush of all of the ripe ones. The catbird is always hanging around the property and seems to have decided everything is his; I could hear his calls. A robin took off across the yard from somewhere nearby.

The catbird is always hanging around the property and seems to have decided everything is his. I could hear him calling..and enjoy his company. A robin took off across the yard from somewhere nearby. As I tried to compose some pictures of the berries, an oriole landed on a branch of one of the other bushes. I was lucky enough to snap a photo through the branches.
