The secret to attracting wildlife is to supply them with three basic requirements for survival: food, cover, and water. This post is the third of three parts and discusses water.
All animals need a source of water and it's critical to provide a dependable source of clean water. This can be done several ways. The easiest and cheapest way is to simply have a bowl of water set out in a shady area, but you can find lots of fun and interesting bird baths on the market. If you want to increase the value of your lot, why not build a pond in your wildscape? You can build a simple pond yourself as small one or two feet deep and keep it simple, or you can get as elaborate as installing a larger one and even adding various levels to include waterfalls and water fountains.
