Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny and cold.

I fed the birds. I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus several cardinals.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 11/28/25 -- We hacked away at the brush pile today. I managed to cut up one bush that had berries on it and dump the bits in the firepit. We also got some kindling cut to size.

We saw our great horned owl! :D It flew out of the ritual meadow around the east edge of the yard.

EDIT 11/28/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

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

That's cool about seeing the owl. We heard some last night, but I've only ever seen one once, silhouetted against the dark sky.

Yes ...

We see ours periodically, most of the time in fall or winter. It tends to sleep in the ritual meadow but I've seen it in other places too. A great horned owl is surprisingly large.

I am vicariously enjoying your owl.

P.

Yay!

Last night I kept hearing hoo-hoo-hoo outside. :D

Tonight is cold, snowy, and miserable.

I'm so happy to have an owl back after the Summer of Crows incident.
