I live in northern Virginia and have a busy bird feeder: chickadees, downy woodpeckers, tufted titmice, nuthatches, cardinals, bluebirds, a few goldfinch... And I'm the proud host of two groups of baby bluebird hatchlings for the first time this summer. I love throwing clover seed into my lawn. Most of my favorite plantings get gobbled by deer, and we have some actively-munching caterpillar varieties, too. On one side, there's a fairly busy road, so I want to plant some more plants to reduce the noise from the road and create 'quieter' areas for visiting birds.
