Tallamy, a professor of wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware, writes in “Nature’s Best Hope,” his most recent book: “Across the United States, Solidago is the top-ranked genus in terms of hosting the ecologically valuable caterpillars that feed our breeding birds and fall migrants.” He calls it “a cornerstone plant for meadow and prairies,” noting that winter-resident birds depend on its seed, as do “voles and mice that feed hawks, owls, weasels, coyotes and foxes.”
