Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and cold. Yesterday it snowed several inches.

I haven't fed the birds yet. They're swarming the feeders, though. I've seen a large flock of sparrows, a flock of mourning doves, several starlings, two male cardinals and a pair.

I walked around the yard taking pictures.

EDIT 1/6/24 -- I fed the birds. They're still swarming. I've seen a small flock of cardinals. :D

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 1/6/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I put out more water for the birds. I've seen a tufted titmouse plus dark-eyed junco, probably a male, and the one I spotted while taking pictures was likely a female.

I also planted a few cactus seeds that I found while sorting seeds yesterday, a partial packet now emptied into the dish where I have a couple of cacti growing.

I am done for the night.
