The back brick patio at Habitat Home (once it is shoveled) is just perfect for throwing a scoop of cracked corn and sunflower seeds on to feed the birds. A few of the partaking birds are a blue jay, junco, mourning dove and sparrow.
Home is was 22 acres of land in east central Illinois along the Salt Fork River. We have learned a lot over the past 19 years changing the land from agricultural use (corn and beans) to a variety of native habitats that have become home to many animals, insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians and plants. This blog is an attempt to record for ourselves, and share with others, the joys, challenges and frustrations in creating Habitat Home. Our "Managed Earth" and "Climate Change and Wildlife Habitat" posts give some motivational background on why we do these things.
