Native Plants Are for the Birds

Garden hospitality. Local seasoned birder Charley Amos says that's all it takes to lure flocks of feathered friends to your yard. (Maybe he's right, as he has seen almost 100 species in his own yard.) Charley explains the relationship between native plants and birds. Natives provide seeds and berries and attract insects for most birds’ diets. They also give shelter and nesting sites. Plus learn pointers about what to plant for winter bird feeding. A Texas Master Naturalist and past president (twice) of the Fort Worth Audubon Society, Charley has led birding trips all over the state. His avian adventures have ranged far afield to Costa Rica, Ecuador, Europe, and Canada, but his favorite destination is a lot closer to home — Big Bend National Park. Charley’s love of nature calls him to volunteer at local parks leading nature walks for enthusiasts of all ages. He regularly helps out at area native plant endeavors, including the Fielder House garden, Knapp Heritage pollinator garden, the greenhouse for the Molly Hollar Wildscape, and the gardens at River Legacy Science Center. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UTA.
