Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and cool.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen much activity yet.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I started raking part of the orchard so I can sow grass seed there.

I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I did more raking in the orchard. There are a lot of dead branches that need to be removed.

I've seen the turkey vulture overhead again. I glimpsed a metallic green beetle, likely a tiger beetle.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I sowed grass seed over the raked portion of the orchard.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I started setting up where to plant the American plum.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I planted the American plum in the savanna. I mulched around it.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I planted the spicebush in the savanna and mulched around it. This concludes the batch of seedlings from Prairie Moon.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I did some grass trimming in the savanna.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I sowed a scarlet runner bean under the large redbud tree in the savanna. This year I'm experimenting with growing legumes as living fertilizer.

The honeybees are very active, with a constant stream going in and out of the be tree.

I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 4/6/26 -- I gathered a trolley of branches from the orchard and dumped them in the firepit.

I am done for the night.
