Nice post. I discover something extra challenging on different blogs everyday. It is going to often be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice just a little some thing from their store. I'd prefer to make use of some using the content on my weblog whether you do not mind. Natually I'll give you a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you simply will need to write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic but typically people today aren't sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Hello dude, really like this concept. I did not know much more about turning a yard into a winter refueling spot for birds but the allocation you did here makes me knowable about this issue. Thanks for this pretty nice allocation.

Regions and berry-producing plants

Russ and other commenters,
The Plains region does include the Upper Midwest, and the Southeast does include Maryland. My apologies that the region descriptions didn't make that clear. (This is an abridged version of a longer article in AUDUBON Magazine.) For the Upper Midwest, I'd suggest bunchberry dogwood (Cornus canadensis) for a low, creeping ground-cover type shrub that's beautiful and also an excellent berry-producer for birds. Here is a description plus photos from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Centers native plant database, an excellent resource: http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=COCA13 Southern arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), despite the confusing common name, is also native to the Upper Midwest, and an excellent tall shrub for winter berries. In Maryland, depending on your location (mountains? coastal plain?) you could grow American Beautyberry and Northern Bayberry from the table above, both excellent choices for landscaping and for birds. Happy planting!

Right Ross, I too, am a midwesterner, and have chickadees all year, but also LOVE the waxwings when they show up, usually twice a year. I think the bayberry and arrowroot would be fine her in the midwest, is there any other good ones for our cold winters up north here?

It's a very good idea, but it's all about the budget. A particular organization can take this kind of responsibility. As an individual we must support this...

berry bushes for birds

Maryland was left off too.

The above article on the berry bushes was helpful, but it totally omited the upper midwest area. Such as the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan (upper & lower), Iowa and the Dakotas. We have a unique growing and weather system here and are looking for help on what will survive and produce for the birds.
