The following is a summary of this bulletin.
Urban wildlife includes many species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and even fish.
However, in this issue the focus is primarily on birds. But whatever the animal, whether a song sparrow or a butterfly, the key to its presence is habit at - or the place it lives. Habitat consists of the important elements discussed, with a rule of thumb being that the greater the variety in these elements, the greater the variety of animals that can live there. Useful vegetation patterns help wildlife by arrangement of food sources, protective cover and water making a big difference in the kind and quantity of wildlife you attract.
