Nature: Birds Trees   Birds   Insects ---------------------------------------- You can attract a variety of birds to your yard by simply providing a bird feeder and some plants as shelter. There are many types of birds in our area. Some are quite common (such as the house finch, house sparrow, european starling, robin, crow) but others are more unusual. The birds listed here are less common to see in your yard but many live in nearby wooded areas or migrate through. These birds can be attracted to your yard in the same way more common birds can.
