Birding for Joy: This Garden is for the Birds

Today’s episode is part two of creating a biodiverse,
bird-friendly habitat. In an ever-changing world, climate change, and habitat loss, the birds need our help. We discuss:




• Four components that are needed to keep birds happy and healthy


• Sustainability in the landscape or wildscape


• Online tools to help us create bird-friendly habitats
