a growth-oriented market and customer-driven organization providing
quality engineered products and services of outstanding value to the

Bird Feeding Tips
-
When placing your feeder, allow privacy for the birds. Avoid
areas where there is excessive noise from dogs, driveway traffic, and slamming
doors. Use a location that is as quiet and undisturbed as possible. Set the
feeder back several yards from the window so indoor activities will not scare
the birds away. Normally, a corner of the yard near some shrubs or a fence is
ideal. Bushes permit a social arena where birds may light, preen, search for
food and maintain pecking order. Where your yard meets deciduous trees and
where the shrubbery ends and garden begins all serve as mini-habitats. These
areas offer the interspersing of plants and perches that birds love to
utilize. By taking advantage of little “waste areas” in your yard you will be
able to provide the privacy needed to maintain a population of feeding station
visitors.
-
When setting up your new feeder, wipe off the feeder with a damp
cloth. It takes time for birds to become used to something new in their
environment. To help attract birds, sprinkle seed on the ground under the
feeder.
-
Do not be discouraged if it takes time for birds to respond to a
new feeder. Frequency of feeding can depend on where you live, the number of
trees and other feeders in your area. A poor winter at the feeder -- low
numbers, few species -- is usually a sign of a mild winter or abundant natural
food rather than some sort of catastrophe.
-
Birds eat grit along with their food to help them digest it.
During the winter, you can scatter sand near the feeder to help the birds,
since natural grit may be frozen or hard to find.
-
Cardinals, blue jays and house sparrows are often the first
visitors to a new feeder. When titmice, woodpeckers and nuthatches begin
coming in, you’ve established an effective feeding station. |

The Registry of Nature Habitats - Mission
Statement
The Registry of Nature Habitats is
dedicated to the preservation of land that, over time, has been a
site and home for complex ecosystems. The Registry advocates
preservation of these lands and its inhabitants, environmental
education for community individuals and groups, and nurturing of
these lands through restoration in order to conserve its
natural resources for future generations.
Preserve
The Registry of Nature
Habitats manages critical habitat, consisting of wetland,
lowland, upland, forest and stream habitat, providing a home
to wildlife species and plant species. As part of
the mission to preserve these lands and its inhabitants,
the Registry will continue to contract with owners
of ecologically sensitive land as it becomes
available.
Educate
The Registry of Nature Habitats is
a "teaching ground," able to provide hands-on, interpretive learning
experiences in areas such as ecology, botany, wildlife science, and
geology, as well as the arts and humanities. The
educational mission of The Registry of Nature Habitats is
to teach an understanding and appreciaton of the environment,
the invaluable lesson of land stewardship of our natural resources,
and to expand the general knowledge of this habitat through
scientific research. This will be accomplished through a
year-round experiential, interactive approach, along
with onsite and outreach activities including providing
educational material both on this website, on media and through
educational seminars. An on-site facility is in the
design phase, which will house classrooms and an administrative
space.
Nurture
Through several restoration
projects, including the rebuilding of stream corridors,
reintroducing native flora, and permitting only low-impact
activities, the Registry is nurturing much land back to
its natural state, undoing the damage of hundreds of
years. The Registry of Nature
Habitats restoration plan, developed with public and private
partnerships and with local community support, will increase
the land's value, enhance wildlife habitat, improve water
quality, and preserve the integrity of the land's
bio-diversity. Renewable
Energy
Promote the use of
renewable and efficient energy technologies through education,
training, workforce development, research, and project facilitation.
The Registry supports clean energy development and energy
conservation as the means to protect the environment, enhance
public health, and save our nature
habitats.
Conservation
We seek to educate people and provide innovative
solutions that will help build a clean, more efficient world, by
reducing energy consumption in a prudent way that does not
threaten the natural balance that supports all
life.
