• Rabbit in the Burbs?

  We've had a rabbit frequenting our yard this winter. This is the suburbs. We don't get much wildlife. I wonder why a rabbit would come to this area? Here he is. He's a bit camouflaged. More

• Mint garden

  Does anyone else have a mint garden? It's one of the only things that wildlife won't eat so I pretty much dedicated a part of my garden to them. Can anyone tell me what mints flower? So far I have lemon balm, bee balm and peppermint and catnip/catmint. More

• What to do for the birds & wildlife?

  I feel really bad. Because we have had to cut back on so much with the current economy, we have greatly reduced our budget for birdseed and food for the wildlife. This really bothers me because I love so much to feed the birds. Does anyone have any penny-wise solution… More

• Snakes take over our outdoor Bird Watching areas

  Hello! My husband and I have several benches, arbors, roofed seats, etc. for birdwatching on our 12 acre, mostly wooded property. It seems whenever we go to relax on one of these places to enjoy our (very slow! LOL) progress in the gardens or to watch birds/wildlife, we receive reptilian… More
