Ah ... May.

It's the month gardeners in many U.S. climate zones dream about. We peek out our windows each morning, hoping to see dew instead of frost on our lawns and tender tulip petals. We revel in the brilliant color of forsythia and inhale deeply to enjoy the tantilizing scent of hyacinth. We clean and fill our birdfeeders and recover the bird bath from shed or garage. And while sipping our morning java, we reach for pencil and pad to plan the gardening tasks needed to make ours the best looking landscape in the neighborhood!

At first it can seem overwhelming, but fret not. We've got tips and a handy checklist.

Warmer temperatures and the sunny disposition of spring welcome Mother Nature’s best-dressed and most talented performers: her birds.

If you’re lucky, they will migrate to your yard bringing endless hours of entertainment in song, dance and color, seeking only food, water and shelter in return. If you plan it right, they might make their backyard their home, feathering their nests with materials you provide in your garden and landscape, to produce a new generation of talent for many seasons to come.

So what can you do to make your yard an oasis for birds? Lyric Wild Bird Food is a great place to start. But the answer is more than bird feeders, bird houses and birdbaths. A more effective (and natural) approach is to plan for their arrival from the ground up!
