An amazing weekend getaway sharing birds with family and friends - a life bird for a few and a deepening connection to the natural world for all.

A black-throated blue warbler was just what the doctor prescribed as the midnight blue and white tumbler seized the spotlight flitting about the cluster of grapes trained on the tangle of branches all the while gleaning insects as we followed along.

Explore the outdoors with family and friends to create endless opportunities for adventure into the natural world. I hope the adventures planned outside will allow our paths to cross in the not too distant future.

The beautiful photographs captured on this day were taken by my good buddy James Hoffman.

Why should you clean out nest boxes?

It’s important to give nest boxes a really thorough cleaning after each nesting season. You need to get rid of any parasites before a new family of birds move in. The best time to clean a nesting box is in October and November when there is no chance of disturbing the previous occupants. Remove the old nesting materials.

Use warm soapy water and a brush to clean the inside of the box. Allow sufficient time for the nest box to dry before closing up the box. You can place a small handful of wood shavings in the box after it’s cleaned - nest boxes will get used for roosting during cold winter snaps by Chickadees and other songbirds.

During these hot summer days backyard birds need fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. Most birds drink water every day. They also enjoy bathing to keep their feathers clean. A bird bath increases your chances of observing their behaviors close up and provides that cool sip or dip our feathered friends are in need of. Come in and take a look at a few of the bird baths in stock!

We are happy to have in stock our Dove and Quail bird seed blend which is made up of safflower, white proso millet and cracked corn - a favorite of California Quail.

The seed can be offered to these foraging feathered balls on a ground tray feeder that has legs and is raised up off the ground about 4-5 inches.

The raised height will allow sprinkler or rain water to pass through and keep seed dry as air flows about. The height will also afford the quail a lookout as predators may try and surprise the quail as they feed, Meeting the needs of these wary birds, however, can be rewarded with regular visits in the backyard.

Store hours will now include Wednesday!!
Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week:
10:00 am to 6:00pm.

In these high temperature days maintaining your hummingbird feeder is a must. You will need to wash the feeder out in hot water every three to four days. Use a bottle brush to scrub all surfaces then rinse well. Add fresh nectar and enjoy these aerial acrobats.

Nectar 4:1 water to sugar ratio
Boil the water to neutralize impurities that could be in the water. Add sugar to the hot water and stir to dissolve the sugar crystals. Refrigerate to cool. Once cool add nectar to the feeder.

I am proud to have my niece as a part of the work family. She continues to be the glue that holds our efforts together. To our customers thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued patronage and support despite the highs and lows and uncertainty of the past few months. With you we will continue to grow and our connections with our feathered friends will soar.

The Black-headed Grosbeak
spends the spring and summer months in mixed woodlands and riverside trees throughout Utah. You might even spot them taking nectar and or jelly from hummingbird and oriole feeders. Black-oil sunflower seed in tube and mesh bird feeders is a great way to offer their preferred seed and have them visit the backyard daily. We have tube and mesh feeders in stock and black-oil sunflower seed to stock your feeders.

I am happy to announce that the Patio No-Waste, Sunflower Chips and Finch Mix seed replenishment has arrived and in the store.

I continue to appreciate the Wild About Birds Nature Center families patience and understanding as seed inventories increase.

Store hours will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week from
10:00 am to 6:00pm.

Finch mix is a combination of Nyjer and fine Sunflower Chip combined - the seed blend is great for all of our finches. Match the seed with one of our long mesh tube finch feeders and you will have many of our feather friends make a visit to the backyard.

I can’t say thank you enough to my family and friends who gave up much of their free time to help in the move of the Wild About Nature Center. The move to the new location (1410 North Hill Field Road Suite 5 - Layton) has been a success. I want to share photos of a few of the many amazing individuals who came out to support and realize my dream of connecting our community with nature through my love of birds.
