Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, plus a squirrel up a tree with a walnut in its mouth.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden and some of the savanna seedlings.

A few sunchokes are blooming.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work on the old picnic table.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the yard.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I re-watered the telephone pole garden and watered the notch in the prairie garden.

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

I saw some sandhill cranes in the yard not long ago. There was a juvenile and two adults. They are common in the area, but I've only seen them in the yard once or twice. Photo taken with my phone, through the blinds.
