Dear $$firstname$$
Welcome! This is the first edition of the new Birds & Blooms Web Plus that’s for subscribers only.
What’s this all about? Read on…
When you receive your June/July issue of Birds & Blooms (it should be soon!), you’ll notice something new. On many stories, we’ve added a Web Plus icon. 
When you see that hummingbird and flower symbol , you’ll know we’ve added some special on-line content reserved just for our subscribers.
As long as your subscription is current, we’ll send you this monthly newsletter as your personal link to this subscriber-only content. There will be practical plant lists, bonus birding tips, added photos and lots of fun ideas that will appear exclusively in this Web Plus area.
And, if you’re also a Birds & Blooms EXTRA subscriber, you’ll have access to more on-line features that are available only with your subscription. We’ll even give you a “sneak peek” at the upcoming issue.
Since our June/July issue is all about celebrating hummingbirds, in this first edition you’ll find a lot of great tips and photos of these amazing birds.
There’s a handy Regional Hummingbird Guide that lists the hummers you’ll find in your area and a driving tour of the nation’s best Hummingbird Hot Spots. Attract hummingbirds with 10 Sensational Geraniums they’ll love, or create irresistible Hanging Baskets for Hummingbirds.
We’ve also gathered readers’ best Feeder Cleaning Secrets and collected images from around the world for the Exotic Hummingbird Photo Gallery.
And for the butterfly enthusiast, you’ll learn more about the Monarch Watch program and get some simple tricks to help you tell the difference between Moths vs. Butterflies.
Your June/July Birds & Blooms should arrive in the next couple of weeks, but you can start enjoying your bonus features right now by checking out the links. And while you’re at it, visit our updated Web site as well. We’ve added a lot of exciting content that we think you’ll love.
Enjoy!
