Troy’s favorite outdoor activities includes: ensuring that we plant native flowers that attract birds, butterflies and bees so they are able to pollinate. He loves bird watching! We set up a bird feeder outside our picture window to make it easier to observe local bird species in their natural environment. We also have Robins and Humming birds that like to build their nest in our Japanese Maple tree. He’s also conduct bug investigations by studying ants, worms & other insects in their habitat.
