Since we bought our house on August 15th, there has been an earthquake and a hurricane. What next? Locust?
We have been having a real fun time sitting out in the backyard watching our bird feeders. Over the past few days we have purchased 8 new ones and placed them all around the yard. Then on Saturday morning, we took everything into the garage to make way for Hurricane Irene. Yesterday we started to put things back.
I have been taking photos of the activity around the feeders.
We started with one lone hummer, then there were 3 fighting over the feeder. So we bought 2 more feeders. I make the sugar water for them. The recipe is really easy, 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Stir into boiling water till clear, let cool.
This was the view from my bedroom window this morning.
A Goldfinch (or as they are called in Crestwood, a yellow Canary) and a House Finch.
We went to Lowes this afternoon, bought a new kitchen faucet, a new air gap for the dishwasher and then more stuff for the birds! Suet, a baffle to deter squirrels from the big feeder, and more bird seed!
