What does your Fall Wildlife friendly garden look like?

Northern, NJ(Zone 6b)

I am squeezing as many (mostly native) wildlife friendly plants and shrubs on a small suburban lot as I can. I have to carefully manage the larger grasses to look planned .
What does your garden look like and what have you planted?
I have Switch Grass, Indian Grass, and Little Bluestem for Grasses.
I just planted 2 female and a male Ilex verticillata for winter berries and have 4 Ilex glabras with berries.There is also a native Rosa Virginiana with red rose hips.There are 6 native honeysuckle that are still blooming and also have formed seeds.
The seed heads from penstemon digatalis, purple coneflower and asters will stay up until they are eaten.

Well now that it is finally getting below 100 here I am addressing creating some lizard-snake habitat . I just got in from hauling some rock/boulders in . Probably do this once a week over the next 3 - 4 months . That will probably get enough here to make an impact on 4 acres .
