2/3 for the birds

We’re losing birds, by the billions.

Which is why I wanted to mention a movement in which you devote 2/3 of your land to native species of plants.

If we could plant even half of our 40 million acres of lawn in 2/3 native plants, and keep them pesticide free, we could turn the bird losses into gains.

And for those of you in the Great Northwest, Oregon State University has put together a wonderful (and free) PDF resource: Enhancing Urban and Suburban Landscapes to Protect Pollinators.

Finally, please keep your cats inside.

If they pester you to go outside, just do what I did for many years — I walked them. It’s a great way to bond with your cat, clear your head, and watch the birds.

Or, in the case of our Harlan, watching the turkeys.

We miss you Harlan.
