Listen for the bird sounds

Some are in the distance.

You might have to really turn up your volume to hear the sound of the birds this evening. They are the real heralds of spring.

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

An unwanted night-time visitor

Spring must be close at hand. Wild animals seem to know it. Birds are returning to the area and skunks are coming out of their winter retreats, ready to find a mate.

I hope I don’t come across the path of a skunk any time. That is my hope for Stella too. When we go outside we will make lots of noise so every wild animal knows that we’re about and that they should vacate the yard.

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

Enjoying the birds

I pay for this entertainment by purchasing peanuts and more for my birds.

They pay me back by coming close to my window and decorating the trees with their color and their songs

It’s worth the expense I guarantee it.

Cardinal at the feeder

I’ve been trying to catch the cardinal at the feeder. Usually, he grabs a mouthful and then he’s gone. Today he hung around long enough for this video.

It is below zero so I stayed inside the house taking his picture. Good thing I filled up the feeder last night. There’s also a heated birdbath on the porch, so its a one-stop breakfast.

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