Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 115718, member: 3087"] I'll be visiting this thread often, to see pretty pics and hear people's stories about birds they have in their areas. Since I moved to my present house 3 years ago, I hate that there are very few birds that come to my yard. The reason is that for a mile in every direction, I'm surrounded by farmed fields. No woods for over a mile. And, the only large trees in that area are about 5 in my yard, but that's not enough for most birds. I do love my barn swallows. I have at least 5 pair so far this year. My barns welcome them, and I make sure nothing is under their nesting sites (like round bales of hay) to allow the cats easy pickings into their nests. [/QUOTE]
