Mondays with Martha #195 - Feeding Birds: Native Plants for Fruit Eaters (like Bluebirds & Orioles)

Third in my series about feeding wild birds with native plants, this post focuses on native vegetation we can conserve or purposefully plant to support our frugivores, e.g. our fruit eating birds. Learn what plants help our bluebirds, robins, orioles, woodpeckers, and so many others succeed throughout the seasons. Special thanks again to Tracy Anderson and Stan Lilley for letting me share their photos of our fruit eaters in action!
