Inviting birds into gardens by creating habitat is a joyful way to connect with nature and help support birds and pollinators. This presentation features Pam Karlson's photos from her Chicago bird garden habitat she created, illustrating how its possible to attract over 100 bird species. Tips include landscape enhancements, practices and plant selection, with an emphasis on native plants. Chicagoland's location along the migratory route, bird species diversity, habitat, diet/foraging, nesting, supplemental support and community science will also be discussed. Doug Tallamy's "Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard" and Emily Murphy's "Grow Now: How We Can Save Our Health, Communities, and Planet - One Garden at a Time" includes Pam's Garden habitat, exemplifying the power of urban lots.
