Geese in the rain

I loved seeing these geese, but I wasn’t pleased with the falling rain.

I’m happy I got the video, but I ended up getting pretty wet as I hurried back to the house.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Pileated Woodpecker eating at feeder

This guy has been visiting my front porch. He loves the shelled peanuts I put out.

I had to stand still to take this video. The first few attempts, he saw me and flew away.

Finally, the woodpecker stayed so I could take this video.

Enjoy.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A Mother’s Day Dance

These Sandhill cranes are doing a happy dance today.

I discovered this video in my archives and thought it was perfect to share today.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Orioles and Blue Jays

It is so much fun watching the birds return in the spring. Today I had orioles and hummbirds (not in this video).

I am happy to put out jelly for the orioles and peanuts for the jays to supplement their daily menu. I hear them in the trees, but this brings them close.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Ground-feeding birds

My camera is pointed out my kitchen window. I have to hold still so I don’t scare the birds. More came as I videoed.

I’m happy I could help the birds. Besides assorted seeds, I added bread crumbs.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
