Start talking to everyone in your area, Elks, Dept. of Rec, ARC, UCP and all
the other alphabet soups.  Don't forget to get ahold of people who already
are running wildlife stations.  Get the word out I think its great.  Also,
remember, not all visually impaired people read Braille, also have verbal
listings available.  Flowers should be able to be touched and smelled, also,
dirt and other plants, so you have to be careful to not plant toxic plants.
Keep it up girl.

It's good peace.  I love watching the birds at my feeders.  If you ever
break
down and put in a feeder you probably won't be sorry.  You can put out
shelled seeds and that reduces the mess, but a birds natural behavior is to
shell the seed himself.  Water is great too.  That's probably more important
for them then putting out food, actually.  If you can rig up a birdbath with
trickling water, the sound of the trickle is like a bird magnet.

Birdwatching is cool!
