LEARN TO BUILD A BACKYARD WILDLIFE POND IN ONE WEEK FOR LESS THAN $300 Observe wildlife you otherwise wouldn't see: watch frogs and dragonflies in your own backyard. Provide the one essential habitat element that benefits all wildlife: water. In this easy to follow do-it-yourself booklet, you will learn how the author built a backyard wildlife pond during a one-week vacation, for less than $300, as part of a plan to have a certified backyard wildlife habitat. Color photos illustrate each step of the pond building instructions, including: choosing a pond location designing a pond that benefits the most wildlife digging and leveling the pond installing padding to protect the liner buying and installing the liner filling the pond with soil, rocks, and water and adding rocks around the edges. Although many sources exist about building traditional ponds, there is little information about building a low-maintenance, natural pond specifically intended to be beneficial to wildlife (with soil in the bottom and no pump). This book will show you how to easily create this type of pond and welcome frogs, dragonflies, tadpoles, snails, bathing birds, and other creatures where you can observe them in your own yard. A wildlife pond is cheaper to build and easier to maintain than other types of backyard ponds: It doesn't need an expensive pump. Plants are grown directly in soil at the bottom of the pond, rather than in pots that need to be removed each Winter and repotted each Spring. Instead of goldfish provided by humans, it is stocked by Nature with local wildlife. Once it achieves a balanced state that mimics natural ponds, it needs very little input from humans. In addition to the step-by-step pond building instructions, sections are included on: types of pond plants, including edible arrowhead natural pond maintenance how to keep the pond unfrozen in Winter how to patch a hole in the liner wildlife seen at the pond. Join the author on her adventure and discover the joys of having your own backyard wildlife pond!

A lavishly illustrated introduction to the world's dragonflies and damselflies Dragonflies and damselflies are often called birdwatchers' insects. Large, brightly colored, active in the daytime, and displaying complex and interesting behaviors, they have existed since the days of the dinosaurs, and they continue to flourish. Their ancestors were the biggest insects ever, and they still impress us with their size, the largest bigger than a small hummingbird.

In this lavishly illustrated natural history, leading dragonfly expert Dennis Paulson offers a comprehensive, accessible, and appealing introduction to the world's dragonflies and damselflies. The book highlights the impressive skills and abilities of dragonflies and damselflies--superb fliers that can glide, hover, cruise, and capture prey on the wing. It also describes their arsenal of tactics to avoid predators, and their amazing sex life, including dazzling courtship displays, aerial mating, sperm displacement, mate guarding, and male mimicry. Dragonflies and Damselflies includes profiles of more than fifty of the most interesting and beautiful species from around the world.
