Birds need water when it is cold! Take some hot water out to melt the ice and refresh your bird bath whenever you can during the deep cold that’s upon us. #backyardhabitat #nmwx #urbanWildlife #cityNature City Nature Challenge: ABQ

It's the most exciting week of the year! The ninebark has bloomed and has all kinds of native bees, flies and beetles on it. #backyardhabitat #nativeplants #pollinators

Over the past two days, we have released one Monarch and two Black Swallowtail butterflies. Pretty amazing transformation in a little over a week! #pollinatorgarden #backyardhabitat

A very new #Monarch caterpillar on Asclepias eriocarpa #milkweed #BackyardHabitat #Monarch Waystation 🐛🐛🐛

It may look chaotic to you, but I walk out my back doorstep and watch the monarchs dancing over a little heaven of wild space. #GardenWitch #BackyardHabitat

Mmm #biodiversity #backyardHabitat

Monarch chrysalis immediately after pupating and 5 days later. #monarch #butterfly #backyardHabitat

Saint Kateri Habitats love snow too! From the backyard of our board member and Catholic Ecology Blog author, @wlpatenaude Bill Patenaude! #saintkaterihabitat #snow #laudatosi #plantnative #backyardhabitat #catholicsofinstagram #nature #habitatcertification

I’ve been working my butt off for the last year or so to do the #backyardhabitat certification. I’ve got soooo many Oregon natives and they are doing so well. It really goes to show you that planting natives works.

Our feathered friends need food, water, and shelter. Be a good neighbor #backyardhabitat

I found a bug 🐛 in our garden this morning. #Monarch #butterfly #caterpillar #pollinators #milkweed #backyardhabitat #nativeprairieplants

Pretty excellent way to start the day! #monarch #milkweeed #backyardhabitat

One of my very favorite plants is going to bloom in my own backyard!! #nativeplants #phenology #floridanature #backyardhabitat

Built another rain garden for some property owners. This will capture rain water off the roof, and help the pooling in the yard. Still trying to convince them to take out the rest of the grass! 😉
