Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and chilly.  It rained for a good while last night.

I fed the birds.  I put out a new peanut suet cake.  I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder. 

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 12/18/24 -- My partner Doug ran the weedwhacker over the area where we'll be planting the holly bush.

Then we cut back nearby brush.

EDIT 12/18/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen two large flocks of sparrows simultaneously (at the hopper feeder in the forest garden, and the fly-through feeder and suet cage south of the house), a male cardinal, a tufted titmouse, and a goldfinch.  :D

EDIT 12/18/24 -- I hauled the cut brush to throw on the brush pile in the ritual meadow.  Doug raked the trimmed grass, so that pile needs to be hauled away too.

I've seen a female cardinal at the fly-through feeder and two mourning doves in the forest garden.

EDIT 12/18/24 -- I hauled the pile of raked stuff to the grass wall.

I am done for the night.
