Make a Frog Pond for Your Wildlife Garden
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=313
Every wildlife garden has room for a backyard frog pond. Six kinds of frogs have found my little mini ponds that I made especially for them. I like seeing them and hearing their calls at night.

Make a Stone Pile in your
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=291
A stone pile in an old fence row is a fascinating detail in a rural landscape. A sunny, springtime day is a good time to go stealthily along your favorite paths and creep up on a rock pile. Its picturesque, lichen-covered rocks seem to date to antiquity.

Make a Tree-frog Pond
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=314
One summer day a few years ago I improvised a bird bath out of a large plant pot about a foot tall and a foot wide. I put a little branch in it so the birds could walk down the branch to reach the water.

Managing the Water's Edge
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=312
A manmade pond is a place to fish, a place to hunt, a place to see wildlife, a thing that adds to the view from the house. It's a good place to take the grandchildren.

Mosquito Fish for the Wild Garden
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=317
Some people worry that a backyard pond will be a source of mosquitoes. Pond owners often stock mosquito fish to reduce the likelihood that mosquitoes will use the pond to reproduce. Mosquito fish are tiny, about an inch long or less.

Mystery Bird Brings Mistletoe to the Wild Garden
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=310
A UGA colleague stopped by my office to see if he could come out and gather some mistletoe. Our house is partly surrounded by trees. Out beyond the borders of the tented areas are woods, bushy areas and fields.

Pondering a Trend
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=311
A backyard pond is a most relaxing place to enjoy watching fish, frogs, birds and other wildlife. Shallow aquatic environments are far more productive of wildlife than dry land habitats.

Snakes after a Disaster
http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/disaster/490-317/490-317.html
Many snakes, like other residents in the path of a major storm, have been displaced and left homeless. As a result, it is common to find these animals seeking shelter and food in areas close to people.
