GATEHOUSE BIRDS ==== JULY first 2022

 "Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as 

universal as a bird?"  David Attenborough

Plant a few foxgloves and poppies which are not deer food, encourage the native Ocean Spray, Salmonberry, and Elderberry bushes, put out a dish of clean water –– these colorful birds that have occurred in the last month to feed, nest, sing, and fly about the Gatehouse woodland garden will stop over to visit you. All true.
