Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds love salvias and
penstamens...two common plantings
in Habiscapes' hummingbird gardens. They are high in 'natural' nectar, are
perennial and drought tolerant once established". These type of plantings will
encourage visits from all three of Idaho's most common hummingbirds...Rufous, Calliope and Black-chinned!
Cooper's Hawk
These crow sized, forest dwelling birds of prey visit our area during spring and fall migrations. They will frequent bird feeding
areas hoping to catch an injured or sick bird. They are part of the balance of nature and should be respected for their place in it.
Washington Hawthorn
Bird friendly trees and shrubs can attract many
different kinds of birds as their fruit ripens. Habiscapes can help you choose which native or ornamental species works best in
your yard.
This Washington Hawthorn not only provides spectacular Fall color but an abundant array of berries that will ripen in
winter and provide necessary nutrition for Cedar Waxwings, Chickadees, American Robins and other over-wintering birds.
