How To Have Bird Neighbors

A collection of personal observations and practical instructions for welcoming and supporting backyard and porch birds, combining anecdotes, photographs, and how-to guidance. It describes feeding, bathing, and nesting habits and offers measured plans for feeders and birdhouses, plus tips on seasonal care and protecting nests from predators. Individual chapters focus on encounters with a variety of species—wrens, bluebirds, martins, swifts, cardinals, robins and others—while appendices supply a glossary and construction directions, encouraging careful observation and hands-on learning about local birdlife.
