Actually, so is ours, with a heavy emphasis on robins, morning doves and crows. Oh and hummingbirds and woodpeckers. We're slowly adding native plants to the yard that will attract birds, bees and other critters. Our soil is packed with worms and it's a hoot to watch the birds hop around grabbing them, along with all those weed seeds that are ALSO everywhere in the yard.

Our soil is hardly packed with worms, this being New Meexico, but there are plenty of gnats. And we keep our bird feeder well stocked, which is why we have quails show up, and roadrunners, morning doves, humming birds, canyon wrens, curved-bill thrashers and many others whose names I forget. We even get a hawk once in a while, but when he does, the premises's other volatiles don't stick around.
