Noticed it increased diversity of the birds in the yard. Along with an increase in diversity of the insects (Lepidoptera) in the yard.

The problem in my area for natural escaping is not education / information. It's finding places to buy plants and items. And finding the items at a reasonable price.

Currently I'm collecting native plants to redo the flower bed in the front yard. Along with this remodel I will be removing lawn. There is also a water feature in that area. In addition I plan on remodeling order bed by removing invasives and replacing negatives.

I recently purchased a new bird feeder pole. It has a cylinder baffle to control squirrels, rats and raccoons. It's quite fun giving an IQ test to squirrels.
Sadly, I have to put the feeder approximately six feet from the house. Due to its height. Most of the birds are aware of my window ironically. I can generally tell when a new bird has come to the feeder. The birds that are residents of the property will frequently hover in front of the window. Mostly to annoy the cat. -
I live in the Hampton roads area of Virginia. I'm currently going through the process of reorganizing my yard. Well organizing one of the goals is to remove as many invasive species as possible. And replace them with better plants. I'm going to the rule of it has to do more than just be pretty. The plants for replace in the yard get points for what they can do in the yard. Such as does it make a good screen/hedge. Does it make good nesting habitat. Is it a host plant for a butterfly or moth. What type of food does it provide for birds. And on and so forth. I know I will not complete it in a year. But I want to say is a nice long-term goal. In addition besides plants I do plan to include structures for birds and wildlife.
