birdfeedingAugust wildlife gardening tasks feature the height of summer. Keep on top of harvesting and weeding so they don't get away from you. Some flowers need deadheading, but most wildflowers don't. By this point, some plants have set seeds. You can start collecting seeds, especially native ones, to save for next spring. For species that need cold stratification before they will sprout, you can either chill them in a refrigerator or plant them in a bed during fall and let the winter chill them naturally.
Make sure wildlife has shade from the hot summer sun. Keep birdbaths or other watering stations full. Right now, honeybees have taken over my small metal birdbath, which is fine. Take care when working outdoors as many species of birds and other creatures are nesting. It is now safe to mow fields, as ground-nesting birds have completed their cycles. Birdwatching is slow in late summer, as many have concluded nesting. The first migrations are beginning but the real surge doesn't come until later.
