	Wonders of the Prairie Garden \| Bird Habitat Garden This is one of "our" hummingbirds at Ion Exchange, Inc. In sunshine, the familiar iridescent red throat and green back show up much better. If you have a digital or SLR camera at home, the "Wonders of the Prairie" Garden and the Urban Bird Garden will both provide you with ample opportunities for shots like this. All it takes is a little patience! Even if you don't have the camera, you will still get the birds and all that they bring to your natural world. NEW! Bird & Butterfly Attractor Station
	We couldn't resist one more picture of Howard's caterpillar. Imagine the fun you and your family can have taking photos like this in your own back yard! As your prairie develops and the new residents begin arriving, you can chronicle the development in your journal and then use that as a narration on your family nature show CD. You may even find yourself on a first-name basis with a caterpillar like this!
	By planting the different species of plants we offer with our Urban Garden projects, you open up your yard to all the creatures who take advantage of the same native species we have here in Allamakee County. This one is another Ion resident owner Howard Bright caught on camera (Sony Mavica FD-83) last year. With your family taking pictures like this, everyone can get involved putting the photos on CD and creating your own nature shows!

	Your Natural World will be just like the rural Natural World... it's not all pretty caterpillars and hummingbirds. There are many, many creatures that live in the Natural World. They all share it and they all contribute to making it what it is - beautiful. Follow the growth of your Natural World and witness a microcosmof what Mother nature is all about. Your family will be anxious to invite neighbors and friends and tell them all about the Natural World in your yard.. .as long as everyone is there, invite them for a BBQ and turn it into a block party!
