Author Garden: New! ONLINE Bird Field Guide Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       I just found this site that helps you identify over 1,000 species of birds in the U.S. and Canada. It is a step-by-step ONLINE field guide that can have you identifying your unknown birds in minutes. It also has a store where you can get some really GREAT stuff for your bird garden. I am interested in their solar-powered bird bath fountain pump that pumps 40 gallons per hour and costs only $65.00 USD! Splashing gurgling water in a fountain, pond, or birdbath will attract many insect eating species that would NEVER come to ANY of your birdfeeders, so a NOISY, wet, water feature is essential to attracting the maximum number of DIFFERENT bird species to your yard or garden. Here is a link to their site. WhatBird * * * * A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess. Plants: 2894 | From: Nashville, TN | Registered: May 2005  |  Seeded: 74.249.214.118 sibyl Garden Pro!

They have beautiful irridescent colors. Here is one I took sitting on my porch rail. This is a male. The males are the pretty ones.

I bookmarked it too. I do all I can to attract birds to my yard--love to watch them. And they really pay me back by helping keep the insects down in my garden. * * * * Nature Lover Plants: 334 | From: Vicksburg, Mississippi | Registered: Jan 2007  |  Seeded: 70.157.27.79 Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       If it's the insects ye'll wanna be gettin rid of, the birds that came to seed feeders won't be able to help ye. Ye'll be wantin' to put up suet feeders and baths and fountains that splash and gurgle to attract the INSECT eatin' birds. * * * * A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.
