Pictures

So I’m adding some pictures of two of the plants we are growing in the backyard. One is a Monkey Flower and the other is a rose. The goals of a backyard wildlife habitat are to provide wildlife with food, water, shelter, and a place to raise young. So far I am providing food with multiple bird feeders and plants that will attract butterflies and bees. I have a pond and two birdbaths, one located in the front of the house and one at the back of the house. The giant redwood tree provides a lot of shelter and nesting places but I built the nesting box and hope that a bird will take occupancy. One of the feeders is left untouched by the birds if anyone can give me hints as to why they will not eat from it that would help. The feeder is 18 inch tube about 2 inches in diameter and is filled with the same seed that the birds are eating at the other sites. I am also posting pictures of the nesting box I built and the feeder that the birds seem not to like. If any one has suggestions on improvements or additions place comments to these blogs.
