BIRDS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY
WEDNESDAY WAS A BUSY DAY AT THE FEEDERS
*
All day long bird after bird visited the feeding stations. Steady traffic from sunrise to sunset Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmouse, Sparrows, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers and Grackles. I think I saw one American Goldfinch. Gray Squirrels feeding at their feeder no sign of a deer or a turkey. Chipmunks seem to have left us for the winter. Don’t recall seeing a Red Squirrel but am sure they are still around.
We have not seen the Bluebirds or the Carolina Wren this week. Bluebirds where here a few days ago. Carolina Wren a week ago or so. Will be putting out the first batch of my Peanut butter Mix this week do expect a few visitors to feed on it.

I also meant to tell you how beautiful your yard is looking.
I love all the specimen type shrubs and trees you have.

Joy: All things great and beautiful take time to evolve. As time moves on our Garden is ever changing. What you see today is not what you will see tomorrow
Enjoy,
