Gardening For Wildlife...
My garden is just like a small oasis in suburban surroundings of North Central Texas. It consists of a mixture of mostly native and adapted drought tolerant plants and is Certified with both the National Wildlife Federation & Texas Parks & Wildlife as a Backyard Habitat / Texas Wildscape, resulting in a "Best of Texas Backyard Habitat" certification. Gardening for nature is very important to me, to give back what has been taken from it due to increased habitat destruction. More about gardening for Wildlife, Birds, Hummingbirds, Bees & Butterflies can be found on my Gardening for Wildlife page, as well as an ongoing Garden Journal. |
Birding...
I love to bird! From watching the common birds in my backyard to going away on field trips to other places in search of new birds, it is one of the most enjoyable hobbies I have. It can be done anywhere, at any time and can be done without any major expense, although be warned, once hooked there are always more places to visit, more toys to buy...! Visit my Birding Page for more on this great hobby. |
Purple Martins
Although I only host a small Purple Martin colonly I have included a page about the trials and errors that I have experienced over the past 10 years of Martin landlording. Purple Martin Page Lots of information regarding Purple Martins can be found at the Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA) and also the Purple Martin Landlords Of North Texas (PMLNT) a local club here in Grand Prairie, Texas.
