Join us as we give you a tour of the bird sanctuary we built this fall at our wildlife homestead! We set up a variety of feeders, including hopper, platform, Nyjer, suet, and mealworm feeders, along with water trays, perches, and a dust bath area. Thanks to these additions, we've attracted an incredible diversity of birds such as western bluebirds, oak titmice, California jays, quails, and new fall migrants like white-crowned sparrows and dark-eyed juncos. The sanctuary isn’t just for birds—other wildlife, including bears, raccoons, and deer, are also benefiting from the water sources, especially during a recent heatwave. We'll share tips on how you can create bird-friendly habitats in your own yard by adding feeders, water features, and perches to increase bird diversity and provide a safe haven for wildlife.
