Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

oday is partly cloudy and warm.

I haven't fed the birds yet, but I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.  Despite not always seeing them in action, they continue to drain the hopper feeder daily.

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I fed the birds.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I did some work around the patio.

The 'Ambrosia' melon is blooming.  The tomatillo has a tiny green lantern fruit.  :D

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I picked half a baggie of mulberries in the south lot and savanna.

Yellow pear tomato has green fruit.  Daylilies are blooming.

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I picked half a baggie of black raspberries, mostly along the south edge of the prairie garden.

 

Pinks, coreopsis, and black-eyed Susans are blooming in the prairie garden.

 

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I trimmed overhanging brush in the ritual meadow.

 

EDIT 6/16/25 -- I picked half a baggie of mulberries along the road and in the savanna.

 

The first of the yucca flowers are open in the white garden.  :D  

 

In the wildflower garden, purple and yellow coneflowers are forming.  Narrow-leaf mountain mint is blooming.

EDIT 6/16/25 --Out of 4 pots of switchgrass, 3 had several seedlings each. I planted those in the prairie garden. They kind of fell apart though. I have some more started. I may wait to plant those until I see roots at the bottom holes.

Same here, the feeders are emptied very quickly lately!

Yes ...

I have a hunch that parents are foraging caterpillars for their chicks, and relying on the feeders for themselves.
