Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and cool.

I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows, two mourning doves, a starling, and a fox squirrel.

The first daffodils are open. My bluebells are sprouting in the forest garden. :D

Ooh, that sounds really cool! I haven't seen that style, but I imagine it's just perfect for them!

Here is one example of the fake bark:

Some bat houses also have natural bark finish:

Around here, bats are probably roosting under actual loose tree bark or inside hollow trees.

Oooh, that's very cool! And extremely realistic!

I imagine there are plenty of bats around here taking advantage of loose bark, or hollowed parts of trees. When I was a kid we had some that were roosting behind the shutters of one of the upstairs windows.
