Review
This excellent guide to bird gardening in the Midwestern states provides abundant detail about how to improve the quality of backyard habitats through examples and practical plans. Mariette Nowak demonstrates that even small steps can improve local bird habitat in meaningful ways. More regions need detailed handbooks such as this. --Stephen Kress, Vice-President of Bird conservation, National Audubon Society
This book will interest many people, who will benefit from understanding the connection between plants, and birds. It provides a guide to land owners with an interest in helping bird and makes a connection between urbanites and nature. --Randy Hoffman, Bureau of Endangered Resources, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and author of Wisconsin's Natural Communities
This guide to landscaping for birds is as much a guide to reconnecting people with the natural world as it is to providing habitat for birds. The great detail of information on plant/bird relationships will go a long way to benefiting birds and native plant species, as well as a multitude of other wildlife. --Jim Steffen, Ecologist, Chicago Botanic Garden
