They are a favorite of ducks, geese, muskrats, beaver, moose, and sometimes deer. The roots, bulbs, and tubers of plants which are underground are consumed by moles, gophers, wild turkeys, ducks, geese, and muskrats. And nectar from plants is sought by hummingbirds, moths, and bees. Plants that successfully attract nectar feeders include trumpet honeysuckle vine, butterfly bush, cardinal bush, paintbrush, bee balm, petunias, and morning glory. Wildlife will often use an abundant food source almost exclusively when it becomes available.
Good examples are nuts and fruits.
Squirrels and Blue Jays store acorns, hickory nuts, and walnuts for later use. Deer and bears develop a thick layer of fat by feeding on acorns. Insects are another vital food source, especially for songbirds, quail, and pheasants. If you use insecticides to kill pests on your property, be careful and use with restraint. Providing a variety of foods is probably the most important part of your wildlife habitat.
