If you already have some valuable feature such as a rock pile, a large tree, or a fountain, builds on it and plant around it. Allow plants to grow together and form their own connections rather than maintaining isolated plantings. In addition to being limited in space, one yard may not be able to support an extensive inventory of native plant species. By linking with your neighbors, greater diversity in plant type and structure will be achieved. The overall result will be more space and more diversity in food and cover for the wildlife that may be considering sharing you neighborhood with you.
Crows are among the smartest birds in the world.
They have a complex language and the ability to associate noises with events such as feeding. They eat insects and larvae that can damage crops, among other things. Dragonflies are skilled flyers. They also are completely harmless to humans, and eat lots of mosquitoes and other insects that are considered pests by people. Coyotes are one of nature's most adaptable animals.
