The Birdfreak Team has a 1/4 acre backyard in the city of Rockford, Illinois. Over the last 4 years we have been converting this “park-like yard” (as described on the deed) from grass and trees to a bird sanctuary. It’s official name is The Callaway Nature Preserve
White Trillium
The yard started out great: large old trees of mixed variety - sycamore, willow, oak, maple, birch, elm and more with a well-groomed lawn, bushes and tons of irises and other flowers. This was some 30 years ago when our parents first bought the place.
Currently the preserve is undergoing lots of changes, all for the better. We have created brush piles, have planted over 20 native plants, several more trees, and are in the process of removing large portions of the grass.
