I just posted a video Cleon took of birds at the large bird bath. (Go to the website menu and click on ‘Videos’. It is the first one.) Here is a photo he took of the bird feeders. From left to right: on the platform feeder is a Mourning Dove, on the safflower feeder with […]
There is a big and obvious change in the Canada Geese on our small lake, the large lake which is about two miles from us, and the even larger lake about 30 miles from us. There are no baby geese. No families. For the 20 years we have lived here, our small lake has had […]
If you have been watching the bird bath cam livestream, you will have noticed that I moved the oriole feeder lower and closer to the bird bath. When I moved it, I was uncertain if the new location would work as it is now quite close to the bird bath which many birds besides the […]
I am back to working on this website and blogging after very successful cataract surgery! I am so happy to be able to sit here at this laptop and type today – wearing no glasses! I know there are many like me reading this – as children, we had coke bottle glasses. When I was […]
I am in the middle of cataract surgery. Had the first one last Wednesday and the second will be in two days. I was very near-sighted and I am having trouble focusing right now. My eyes are not working together very well at all. But I hope to be back blogging and adding to the […]
Cousins Jean, Rachel, Jess and I went plant shopping yesterday. This was Jean’s and my 18th year of doing this – always the first Friday in May. We have several greenhouses we visit and buy all the plants we want for our gardens – we are both avid gardeners. Normally I do not endorse or […]
You may not see all these birds on the livestream cams. Some do not come to the feeders at all. Most will use the birdbaths – at least to drink – but they are often there and gone almost faster than you can blink an eye. But I wanted you to know they are here […]
Looks like everyone made it back from migration – Cleon and I are very happy! Migration is dangerous for every bird. Many never make it to their destination – especially younger birds. We have no of way of knowing if these are the same birds that lived here last spring and summer, but at least […]
Sometimes when stuff happens it is just sooooooo aggravating. Which is what Cleon and I experienced this morning when we looked out at the hummingbird and oriole feeders that you could see on the birdbath cam. Both cups of the oriole feeder were on the ground and licked clean. The lids were off two of […]
Spring is the time for new beginnings, arrivals, and wild swings of weather. If you have been watching the birdfeeder cam over the last few weeks, you have seen the feeders swaying in the wind – which does not seem to deter the birds at all. Here is what is happening in our yard and […]
