Halloween tease

[ribirdnerd]

Now that the sun is setting earlier and earlier, my after work birding options are limited. 

I took a dusk walk to the pond where I heard 2 Great Horned Owls and saw several Bats catching insects! The Mute Swan family and some Mallards were on the pond too.   Our driveway Turkey family continues to visit along with the usual Blue Jays, Cardinals, House Sparrows, Mourning Doves, Chipmunks and Squirrels.

Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly cloudy and hot.

I fed the birds. Lots of sparrows and house finches today.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 9/10/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen a male cardinal.

I picked several groundcherries.

EDIT 9/10/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 9/10/25 -- I watered the new picnic table, telephone pole garden, and some of the savanna seedlings.

Cicadas and crickets are singing.

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