Love this book and its simple instructions on how to attract birds to your backyard.
My favorite tip for encouraging nesting:
"The String Alternative"
Buy one ball of thin and one ball of thick white cotton string. Cut 10-15 six inch lengths and lay in the grass or drape over a bush. Sit back and watch as brilliant orange or yellow orioles, robins, purple marlins, and other birds arrive to snitch a piece of string for their nests.

We won't be doing the bird feeder projects, but did get some recipes for bird food and found solutions for keeping the blackbirds out of our feeder and wasps out of our hummingbird feeder.

We received this as a Christmas present (thanks Mom & Dad) and are looking forward to turning some gourds we grew this past summer from seed into bird houses in the spring. They're drying in the basement this winter in preparation.
I love this book. I've made all sorts of feeding stations for the birds and squirrels from this book.
