Ibis in the Yard
April 25, 2008
The particular yard pictured above, has not had insecticides applied in years. There are likely to be numerous critters available for these native birds.
Sarasota's Fertilizer Regulation ordinances limit not only fertilizer but also require best practices for insecticides. This can give our native species more friendly habitat for foraging.
If you want to see these birds in your yard you might consider what you put on your yard.

Laurel Park Celebrates
April 22, 2008
A few weeks ago Laurel Park, one of Sarasota's most charming neighborhoods, received the news that they had been accepted as a National Historic District. They documentation for this designation was time consuming but a labor of love for all involved.Congratulations!
On another note (pun intended), Laurel Park also recently had another of their "Tunes in the Park" neighborhood gatherings. Food, drinks, music and socializing were in abundance. Neighborhood social events like this build community.
