Greetings All:
I have decided to up my game at home by trying to create some
temporary features that will get more of the seed I put out in the
bellies of potential migrants than of my resident horde of Eurasian
Collared Doves and White-winged Doves.
I started today by selecting a decent patch (that can be photographed
through my window) of the back yard and laid down a dense layer of
leaves, topped with thinly spread dead lantana stems, topped with some
fairly impenetrable branches. I then dumped a bunch of seed on the
whole mess. The doves don't like it and House Finches and House
Sparrows have already grasped the concept of a Dove Exclusion Zone
(DEZ) - hopefully it will pull in some migrant sparrows down the road.
I would be interested in suggestions regarding the best use of five
pounds of frozen mealworms:)
