Don't be a neatnik. Prepare your yard for winter by leaving the leaves. Leaf litter provides a winter home for insects and the insects provide food for songbi...rds like the Hermit Thrush and American Robin. Leaf litter can be raked away from structures and pathways and used as mulch in garden beds. Don't deadhead your annuals and perennials. Instead, leave the seedheads intact for the Dark-eyed Junco, American Goldfinch and White-crowned Sparrow to enjoy a winter bounty of seed. If you can't resist deadheading, tuck the clippings around your garden beds so the seedheads are still available for the birds. If you have the space and it is fire-safe to do so in your area, create a brush pile with trimmings from trees and shrubs. Brush piles provide shelter for many ground-dwelling and mid-story songbird species like California Towhee and Bewick's Wren as well as insects. Don't be a neatnik. A less tidy garden will provide songbirds and the insects they love with food and shelter all winter long.
