Today, May 22, 2010, is a beautiful spring day! No Rain! It has rained constantly for over a week. We have had water in our family room, and had to take the carpet out., so a project is facing us, just to find the $, then to do the project!
I have had some different spring birds this year. I have never had Grosbeaks at my feeders. I usually feed Grape Jelly and BOSS (black oil sunflower seed) to my outside birds, and the Orioles love the Orange halves and Grape Jelly. This spring I have had numerous male and female Grosbeaks at my Orange halves! The Orioles have been quite busy, both male and female and I have had a Blue Bird frequent the feeder too! I have also seen a Red Headed Woodpecker quite often this spring, I hadn't had those for years. I have lots of Downey and Red bellied but the Red Headed had been illusive the last few years.
Our resident frogs are back at the little garden pond., we have stripey and bull frogs. I caught one of them laying on top of one of my frog pond decorations.
