Hi,
Could I get some suggestions as to what trees to plant that would benefit
them?
Like favorite trees for sap and berries.
I read that quaking aspen is good for them to make nests in because it's
soft wood and easy to excavate.
I realize it would take many years for anything I plant to be a good nest
site, could buy a couple really big trees if necessary so it wouldn't take
so long, big money though.
Is it necessary to get aspens when there are lots of damaged alders around?
Been thinking a lot about the sapsuckers because I grabbed one on the road
that had been hit by a car.
He did die from ruptured air sacks soon after the bird specialist examined
him.
She told me he was thin. I wonder why.
Thanks a lot
