If you're crafty, consider making it yourself or use an online marketplace to find a unique, hand- crafted or vintage treasure. You might also opt for a do-it-yourself feeder or birdhouse kit. Just be sure your property is safe for birds. Unfortunately, birds don't see clear glass. As a result, millions of birds die every year by striking glass. Don't let your sliding glass doors or other windows become a death trap for birds. To protect birds, apply special decals that reflect ultraviolet sunlight. CREATE A HEALTHY ECOSYSTEM You can help promote a healthy ecosystem by learning to identify and control damaging plants and insects in your yard. Be on the lookout for invasive plants. Invasive weeds can out- compete native species, changing the local ecosystem. Many varieties, first introduced as flora to plant in gardens, can be confused with similar, native varieties. Here are two common damaging ones to watch out for: • Purple Loosestrife, native to Europe and Asia, is found in most states. One plant can produce more than two million seeds annually. • Native to China, the Tree-of- Heaven was widely planted as an ornamental plant for many years and is often confused with other trees having similar leaves, such as black walnut, butternut and most sumac. Invasive insects can also have a severe negative impact on native species by out-competing them for food and resources. Many also cause and carry disease and prey on native species. A common one to look out for is the Emerald Ash Borer, native to Asia, prominently found across the Northeast, Midwest and Southeastern United States. The larvae do the most damage, killing ash trees by feeding on the inner bark. ❑ Stunning Spanish style home with stucco walls and impeccable architecture.
