Hello again! Wow, it’s been a really quiet season here up until just recently. I had my feeders put away in late spring, after FeederWatch season ended and for about half of the summer due to worries of Avian Flu. I put one or two feeders out in late July …
Hello again! It certainly has been a long winter. We still have over 3 feet of snow in the backyard with some banks nearly 10 feet tall around town. It’s JUST starting to melt some the past few days but winter & spring will be battling it out for at …
Hello from my backyard! It’s been quite a long time since I posted from here (since March ’21!) … sorry about that. I wasn’t feeding the birds much this past summer because of bears in the area. Then, in late summer, my yard was hit with a Trichomoniasis outbreak for …
