Molly and David help a Winter Park, Fla., family turn their back yard into a bird garden fit for one of Florida's most threatened species, the scrub-jay. They take a simple pottery vase, a few native plants, multiple feeders and nesting boxes and combine them together to create an eye-catching bubbling fountain and bathing area for the scrub-jay and other local birds. The family also tours a local nursery to learn how it became an official habitat for the scrub-jay.
