today was short and sweet and all about the little things
Pine
This morning was shared with a vole moving under the leaves and feeling like I was involved in an epic cat and mouse game of where will the vole come out at so I can catch a glimpse of its face (unlike a cat I don't wish to eat it). Watching it closely come to and from I am amazed I haven't noticed its run before today. Now, I have many new questions about voles.
Shadow
The sun came out and my feeder was already empty when I got there.
A lovely afternoon watching the sun set...
Safe Place
I finally made it to the store yesterday to get a big bag of black oil sunflower seeds - evidently the only seed my bird friends care for - within minutes of dumping the feeder and refilling it I had three male cardinals, Miriam (the female), wrens, a hermit thrush, and unidentified warbler, a flock of titmouse, and the chickadees. When they finished a young squirrel made its way over. I scared it when it was time for me to go.
This lesson is officially learned - Black Oil Sunflower Seeds ONLY.
Welcome back friends.
