Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and hot.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 8/7/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 8/7/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 8/7/25 -- I watered the new picnic table and septic gardens.

EDIT 8/7/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden.

Cicadas and crickets are singing.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

Turkey surprise

[ribirdnerd]

I woke up to begin filling the bird feeders and had a surprise - a new turkey mother with 7 chicks hiding in the taller weeds close behind.
She took some seed and called the little ones over as well.   We have a stone/dirt driveway where we toss seed on the ground, plus several other feeders nearby on the front porch and edges of the woods.
