Good signs of spring
BowEd:
I guess there are some around lake Rathbun 15 miles from me too all summer long.
PaulN/KS:
The dandelions are blooming and, with that, the Goldfinches have arrived. :)
(And some more thunderstorms...) :(
BowEd:
Paul...do you feed those gold finches any?Many people do here.I do.So much so they call then Iowas' welfare bird....lol.Saw the grosbeaks arrive yesterday.Red headed wood peckers too.In all I suppose we got 7 different kinds of wood peckers observed mostly here.The biggest being the flicker down to the small downy[there is a large downy too] and white bellied nut hatch.
No indigo buntings yet.Awful pretty bird & no humming birds yet either.
As soon as the carpenter bees arrive it'll be full blown spring.It takes consistent 80 degree weather for them to appear.I use traps to get rid of them.
PaulN/KS:
No Ed, I don't feed them but I've got so many dandelions and thistle and wildflowers around that they can fend for themselves. I do see them at the bird feeders now and then tho.
BowEd:
I see yes that's always good.I feed them here.Robin likes to take pictures of wildlife.
A smart old Amish fellow told me once before Robin moved in here.He sad Ed if your gonna have a woman around.You better give her some chores....lol.So she has her animals to take care of.She does'nt like one of my prolific pets that are around here though.The dreaded wood tick and their out in numbers now too.
