I read a LOT, and as I read my way around the web each week, I gather together the most interesting things I come across so I can share them with you.
First, there’s only one week left to vote for your favorite Ecosystem Gardener. I’m going to be a hobbit and pick the winner next Saturday on my birthday. Plus, one commenter will also win. Go and vote now.
Rosemary at Toronto Gardening has written a very thoughtful article asking whether Invasive Plants help birds. It’s a great read and very informative.
Here’s some amazing sunset/sunrise photos with a spectacular Red-tailed Hawk by Carol at Flower Hill Farm
Ever had a porcupine come to visit? What an amazing gift of nature that is. Common Weeder shares this exciting event here.
Winter in the wildlife garden is a great read with beautiful photos about how the garden is a better bird feeder than feeders are. Follow @Wildlifegardenr

Great links as always Carole. I particularly enjoyed David’s blog, Montana Wildlife Gardener, and his writing about natural food for birds. As you know, I plan to improve my garden for birds, but meantime feeders are kind of vital for me to see birds.

Thanx for taking us along while you wander the web. Very cool, and I love the stuff you find and read. It’s also great to feel like I’m sharing a cuppa and wanderin’ around with ya!
Sharing a cuppa! I like that image. And thanks for coming on my wanderings with me.
Alison: Feeders are a wonderful way to bring birds close enough to really get to see them. I love watching my feeders especially in the winter. But its also very rewarding to see them picking seeds from your plants and eating berries from your shrubs. Can’t wait to hear what you’ve planned for your garden!
Thank you for the complement and link!

Hi Carole,
I only have just seen this link to my blog. I want to thank you so much and apologize for not doing so sooner only I did not know. I love and respect your blog and feel so honored that you would mention me. The Red-tailed Hawk is being more timid these days. Carol
