I thought it was quiet last week, but it really had only begun. But it does give me the opportunity to concentrate on some of the birds that get ignored when the flashy hummers are hangin' around. Enjoy this weeks offering.
Saturday morning on the porch with air temps cool enough to create a mist coming off the warmer pond. The deer were grazing and the wild turkeys were calling. Glory!
The Carolina Wren enjoying the office deck offering.
The young male House Finches grousing at the water dish.
What?!!!
Coy male Cardinal at the office.
This one was attracted by the activity of the Scrub Jays pecking at the corner windows of the office conference room.
The female was attracted as well.
Even the Mockingbird had to come find out what the fuss was about.
The Scrub Jays continue to visit the office conference room windows every day
and attack the images they see in the reflection.
Female Lesser Goldfinches at the sock feeder that I moved closer to my office window.
White-crowned Sparrow. I'm looking for his mate, she has to be somewhere close by.
A pair of Sulfur butterflies on the moist gravel walk.
The Sulfur butterfly enjoying the impatiens who are enjoying temps below 100!
And Jan's zinnias are still offering a treat for birds and insects alike.
We close with one of those seasonal blessings. Puttering out in the yard, and hear that familiar distant honking. I mention it to Jan, she looks up, and immediately spies the v-shape formation of geese flying south for the winter; 41 total. God's glorious creation!
