When you have no trees, improvise!

Alternative to Trees - All for the Birds

This tree, in the front yard, & another just like it - died	So, we dug them up and "planted" them on the edge of the Iris River in the backyard. Thought the Morning Glory vine was a nice touch.

Ordered a Purple Martin house, painted it and erected it on a 12 ft 4x4. Have the "vacancy" sign out.	Now the birds have a place to perch and enjoy the bird feeders. Surprised at how many little birds have found their way here.

Waiting their turn at the feeders.		Made a birdbath with terra cotta pots & saucers. Glued together with E-6000. Found some shade, did you? Placed a "water wiggler" that hubby converted to solar. It keeps the water moving.

House Martins don't come to the feeders, but made themselves at home nonetheless.
