Download or read book Planting Native to Attract Birds to Your Yard written by Sharon Sorenson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcoming birds to your yard isn’t about choosing the right feeders and bird food. If you want to attract the widest range of birds to your home, you need to plant a diversity of native plants. Why go green? Native plants live longer; they are drought resistant, take less water and fertilizer, they cost less, are less work and easier to maintain. And a big plus—they are good for the environment. In 2007, Douglas Tallamy published the groundbreaking book, Bringing Nature Home, on going native to protect wildlife. Since then Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, the National Wildlife Federation, and National Audubon have all endorsed and encouraged gardening with native plants. Planting Native to Attract Birds to Your Yard is the first book to cover planting native to specifically attract birds. The book recommends plants for all types of backyards, no matter how large or small—from large plots to container gardens. Sorenson gives state-specific recommendations for 31 Eastern U.S. states for native plants that support birds during the four seasons. The book covers the full gamut of native plants—76 species of trees, shrubs, bushes, vines, grasses, perennials, and annuals—and gives details on why specific plants are bird friendly and how to choose plants that work successfully in attractive home landscapes. Includes 66 bird species, all shown in dramatic color photos. Birders, gardeners, and landscapers—all who love birds and beautiful gardens—will find this book a must.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Propagation of Wild Birds: A Manual of Applied Ornithology Treating of Practical Methods of Propagation of Quails, Grouse, Wild Turkey, Pheasant, Partridges, Pigeons and Doves, and Waterfowl, in America, and of Attracting and Increasing Wild Birds in General, Including Song-Birds There has grown up in the United States, within the past ten years, a widespread interest in birds, the extent of which has never been equalled in this or any other country. Along with the desire to acquire more knowledge regarding the habits and activities of these feathered denizens of the great Outside has arisen a sense of personal obligation to aid all movements that tend toward safeguarding their lives and prolonging their usefulness. As a result, the popular support for the enactment of important State and Federal laws for the conservation of wild birds and animals has given profound astonishment to those benighted persons whose custom it has been to accumulate wealth by the destruction of wild creatures for the markets offered by the game-dealer and the millinery feather-merchant. This was well illustrated in 1910, when the people of New York State arose almost in mass and demanded of the Legislature that it pass the Audubon Society's bill to prohibit the sale of birds' feathers; and again in 1913, when there was pending in the Tariff Bill the proviso to prohibit the importation of the feathers of wild birds. More than two hundred thousand letters and telegrams of approval poured in upon the desks of the Senators and Congressmen in Washington. The enactment of the Federal Migratory Bird Bill, also in 1913, would not have been possible a few years before, as numerous unsuccessful attempts had demonstrated.

Download or read book Feeding Wild Birds in America written by Paul J. Baicich and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, more than fifty million Americans feed birds around their homes, and over the last sixty years, billions of pounds of birdseed have filled millions of feeders in backyards everywhere. Feeding Wild Birds in America tells why and how a modest act of provision has become such a pervasive, popular, and often passionate aspect of people’s lives. Each chapter provides details on one or more bird-feeding development or trend including the “discovery” of seeds, the invention of different kinds of feeders, and the creation of new companies. Also woven into the book are the worlds of education, publishing, commerce, professional ornithology, and citizen science, all of which have embraced bird feeding at different times and from different perspectives. The authors take a decade-by-decade approach starting in the late nineteenth century, providing a historical overview in each chapter before covering topical developments (such as hummingbird feeding and birdbaths). On the one hand, they show that the story of bird feeding is one of entrepreneurial invention; on the other hand, they reveal how Americans, through a seemingly simple practice, have come to value the natural world.

Download or read book Summary of Foreign Game Bird Propagation and Liberations 1960 to 1963 written by Gardiner Bump and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State reports covering the propagation and trial liberation of foreign game birds are summarized from the period 1960 through 1963. Details are then provided in tabular form. Of the 21 species and subspecies and 6 crosses reported, only the sandgrouse and the Himalayan snowcock have not yet been produced in numbers in captivity. Increasing consideration is being given to the production of well-reared birds conditioned for survival in the wild following release. In all 78,217 individuals, mostly pheasants, are reported to have been raised for trial liberation from breeders provided through the Foreign Game Introduction Program. These releases supplement 16,145 birds wild-trapped and sent to cooperating States for trial release. While, for most species under trial, it is still too early to evaluate results, some are evident. Iranian pheasants, black francolin and gray francolin have demonstrated the ability to survive, reproduce and increase substantially on release areas. Conversely, Indian sandgrouse and two other species have probably failed to adapt themselves and the semi-domestic strain of Reeve's pheasant is barely hanging on. Six other species are maintaining themselves in numbers sufficient to justify guarded optimism.
Download or read book Propagation of Aquatic Game Birds written by A. F. Burgess and published by . This book was released on 1931 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The propagation of upland game birds is an industry of considerable magnitude in the United States, and there are within our borders some of the largest and most productive game farms in the world. Despite the large output already attained, the demand from state game departments and sportsmen's organizations for game birds and their eggs for restocking, from other propagators for additional breeding stock, and from fanciers and zoological gardens for exhibition specimens is so large that it is seldom necessary to dispose of birds for food purposes. Even when sale for food is necessitated (usually in the case of surplus males only), prices are good, as the demand is from the better class of restaurants, hotels, and clubs. Returns for birds used for the enhancement of sport are higher and as a rule entirely satisfactory to the producer."--Page ii.
Download or read book Bringing Nature Home written by Douglas W. Tallamy and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With the twinned calamities of climate change and mass extinction weighing heavier and heavier on my nature-besotted soul, here were concrete, affordable actions that I could take, that anyone could take, to help our wild neighbors thrive in the built human environment. And it all starts with nothing more than a seed. Bringing Nature Home is a miracle: a book that summons butterflies." —Margaret Renkl, The Washington Post As development and habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. In his groundbreaking book Bringing Nature Home, Douglas W. Tallamy reveals the unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife—native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. Luckily, there is an important and simple step we can all take to help reverse this alarming trend: everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity by simply choosing native plants. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical and achievable recommendations, we can all make a difference.
