APSU designated as a Certified Wildlife Habitat
Austin Peay State University
Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University campus isn’t simply a home for some 11,000 students. Squirrels, rabbits, birds and a few feral cats have also taken up residence in the bushes and trees surrounding the red brick, Georgian-style buildings.
They come here because of the abundance of food, water and shelter, but they stay because the campus offers these creatures a safe place to raise their young.

Native Plants in Urban Yards Offer Birds “Mini-Refuges”
Phoenix, AZ – Yards with plants that mimic native vegetation offer birds “mini-refuges” and help to offset losses of biodiversity in cities, according to results of a study published today in the journal PLOS ONE.
“Native” yards support birds better than those with traditional grass lawns and non-native plantings.
Researchers conducted the study through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, one of 26 such sites around the globe in ecosystems from coral reefs to deserts, from forests to grasslands.

The Parable of the Bird Feeder
Semi-daily preaching by a Semi-daily Preacher on a semi-daily basis
Greg Lee as Brother Preacher
And it came to pass that in a vineyard hangeth a feeder of birds.
And upon the morn the fowls of the air would come unto her and and eat of her seeds and feast upon her corn. And in the evening they wouldst return and feast a second time.
And the fowl of the air did love the Feeder of Birds, and the vineyard prospered.
And it came to pass, that unto the vineyard came another Feeder of Birds unto the vineyard, that the Master hangeth under the tree.
And behold it was golden unto the eye and velvet unto the touch, and beautiful and filled with seeds more tasty than the Feeder of Birds. And the Golden Feeder saith unto the Bird Feeder, «Read the rest of this article»
