Individual Session: Creating Landscapes for Bird Diversity: Beyond Feeders & Fountains

Thursday, February 17, noon – 2 p.m. CST

For more than two decades, Claudia has been transforming her small urban garden into a landscape rich with native plants that, in turn, supports a growing abundance of birds (80+ species), insects, and flora-fauna relationship. This session takes a comprehensive look at how to create landscapes that address our biodiversity crisis, especially rapidly declining native bird populations. Claudia will consider multiple approaches to habitat creation, the value of canopy layers, and the structure of the landscape itself. She will also evaluate our interactions with birds. What are the pros and cons of feeding them directly? Do nest boxes really help our native songbirds to breed? And what impacts of human activity can be mitigated through a better understanding of bird life cycles, migratory patterns, and behaviors?
