Hi Jenn! That sounds like a great goal and I hope you have fun making it a reality. I hadn't thought about how the gardens we grow up seeing as kids can have an effect on the gardens we create as adults. This is a concept I will keep in mind as I take the class and I plan my own garden based on what is available in my yard. Thanks!

I have a tiny balcony, so it is hard to garden for birds. I do have a few plants that are mainly enjoyed by hummingbirds when the plants are in bloom, but I dream of having a bigger space to plant more for all birds and wildlife to enjoy. I also dream of having a garden space that doesn't have a roof as some species seem to be nervous about roves. However, I do have a view of a protected natural space filled with native plants and trees that allows me to see a wider variety of birds. This natural space has been a great inspiration for my future garden ideas as I watch birds enjoy their favorite plants.

1. In the winter, I have seen many pre-roosts, usually about 20 crows at a time, in different locations in my town. I have mainly seen these pre-roosts in a few nature preserve areas and I think the crows are drawn to them because there is a lot of tree cover, food opportunity, and water access. However, I don't know where their final roost locations are and what draws them there. 2. My main thought when seeing crows roosting together is that it is really cool! You don't get to see that many birds coming together to roost like crows. I also wonder what crows are thinking when they roost and if they have favorite friends to roost with.

1. I have seen crows flocking in my area, but the reason for the flock has mainly been for roosting. I think the times I have seen crows together in a flock for foraging are usually family groups, as there are only a few members and they are usually in areas where I suspect the crows to be nesting. 2. When visiting Texas once, I got to experience seeing Grackles form their large winter flocks.
