I live in the Treasure Valley area of Idaho, Nampa specifically. We downsized from two acres with a TON of natural bird habitat in California to a new home that has, well a lawn and a sloped area behind the lawn up to the back fense. Let the games begin. My feeding stations are attracting a good amount of birds but there is no habitat for them to "hang" out so I feed them and they hang out in the established yards behind me.
I need evergreens along the back fence to hide the behind neighbors, some terracing perhaps and plants and shrubs suitable for a small hillside.
I am pretty much starting from scratch. In winter our lawns go dormant. Sorry for the messy picture, we just had a wind storm and my dogs agility equipment and bird feeding items went on a walk about.
