Our friend Linda helped us design, pick out, and put in the plants around the pond last year. This weekend I was sitting by the pond and a hummingbird started feeding on bee balm a couple feet away. We saw a Cedar Waxwing and Gray Catbird taking baths in the water and a wide range of birds visiting the feeders. It's been a busy Summer of birds.

Linda was kind enough to write an article for The How Zone entitled, How to Attract Birds & Butterflies to Your Yard. I've illustrated it with some of my photos.

Flap on over and check it out.
