Spring Birds are returning from winter migrations! They are getting ready to spend the summer! Help them out! Leave them some nest materials in your backyard! Watch and see what happens!
The spring birds are out and about building nests. Take some time and put some nesting materials out on your porch, in a tree, or a corner of your backyard. You can put the materials in a pile, container, basket or even a sock.
