Attracting birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and other animals to your garden is a rewarding pastime.
I like the convenience of walking into my garden and seeing butterflies sipping nectar at my flowers and birds eating seeds at the feeders.

I have what is called a naturalist's garden or a backyard habitat.
It is easy to start a naturalist's garden. You can take an inventory of your garden and replace plants one at a time, to those that attract native animals.
Or you can simply feed the birds from balconies and decks.
I created an online notebook of the techniques I have learned about attracting birds, butterflies and other animals to my backyard. I call it the Naturalist's Garden.You can see some photos of my naturalist garden on my Flickr site.
