February Gardening Tips
At the top of this month's gardening tasks are planting and pruning trees and shrubs. In San Diego County, we can plant trees of all kinds: fruit trees, shade trees and flowering trees. It is an excellent time to transplant mature or established trees and shrubs while they are dormant. Don't fertilize newly planted trees or shrubs until after they have started to grow and then only very lightly the first year.

Western Wood-Pewee
The Western Wood-Pewee is a medium sized flycatcher with a peaked crown that gives its head a triangular shape. They are a common breeder in open forest and riparian areas across the Western United States. This flycatcher of western woodlands is best known by its voice. Its burry, descending whistle has a hazy sound, well suited to hot afternoons. This bird also sings at dawn and dusk, including late in the evening when most songbirds are quiet. This species and the Eastern Wood-Pewee look almost alike. Migration: Strictly a summer resident in North America, arriving late April and May and departing before mid October. Migrates at night. Feeding Behavior: Most foraging is done by watching from an exposed perch within the shady middle or lower branches of a tree, then flying out to catch an insect in the air. It also flies out and hovers while taking insects from foliage, twigs and tall grasses. Diet: Feeds almost entirely on insects, mostly flying ones, only occasionally eating a few berries. Diet features various kinds of flies, wasps, bees, winged ants, months, beetles including a few caterpillars. Nesting: The male sings to defend a nesting territory and attract a mate. The female builds the nest on a horizontal branch, usually well out from the trunk. The nest is a compact cup of grass, plant fiber, feathers, and hair in a spider web frame, at varying heights from the ground. The outside of the nest is camouflaged with moss, bud scales, leaves, and lichen, and often looks like a bump or knot on the branch. Typically, clutches are three eggs, but can be from two to four eggs. The female incubates the eggs for 14 to 15 days. Both parents help feed the young, which fledge at about 16 days, and leave the nest within three days of fledging. Cool Facts: The Eastern and Western wood-pewees are very difficult to tell apart visually. Their breeding ranges overlap only in a very narrow zone in the Great Plains. Despite their similarity, no evidence has ever been found that the two species interbreed in that area. Because of the difficulty of separating Eastern from Western wood-pewees, and because some records of wintering pewees, might refer to migrants, the exact wintering range of the Western Wood-Pewee is not known precisely. Best guess is mature tropical forest. The Western Wood-Pewee makes a clapping noise with its bill while chasing and attacking intruders in nest defense. The oldest recorded Western Wood-Pewee was a female, at least 8 years, 1 month old when she was recaptured and released during a banding operation in California.
