Native plants for birds

Feeders are a supplement; a bird garden is fruit, seed, and cover. These natives feed songbirds directly — berries timed to migration, seedheads worth leaving standing through the winter, and dense growth to nest in. The most useful thing you can do with them is nothing: skip the fall cleanup and let the seedheads and leaf litter stand until spring.
