New Feature: Let's Build A List of Wildlife Tips!

ONE OF THE BEST read features of WindStar's  previous e-newsletters and e-magazines has been the "Tips For Wildlife" section. Many of you have asked about adding this to the blog.  We heard you and we will do it. We'll start it off with this item about safflower.  You can add more tips by simply clicking on "Comments" at the end of this tip.

Safflower_seeds Tip:   Do you want to be a little more exclusive in your birdfeeding?
Safflower may be the solution for you. Many of your favorite birds will enjoy safflower. Blackbirds, grackles and even squirrels typically don't. Offer safflower gradually, mixing it with the seed you currently provide. Over time you'll end up with a dining spot for all kinds of birds, including House Finches, woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees!

About Windstar


  • WindStar Wildlife Institute is a national non-profit conservation organization established in 1986. WindStar is a leader in "connecting people to nature through education." In 1999 the Board of Directors decided to move the headquarters to an award-winning, passive solar and earth sheltered structure, Terra Vista, near Myersville, MD. And, a new, four-acre demonstration wildlife habitat, containing all the elements and key components, was created for members and others to visit and to get ideas for their own properties. Each year new habitat components are added. The Institute is known for its award-winning environmental education and certification programs, web site, American Wildlife Blog and outstanding use of nature photography.
