Sandhill cranes at sunset

I stood for a long time watching as flock after flock of sandhill cranes flew into the sunset.

There were hundreds of cranes last evening, looking for the best place to spend their night.

Enjoy.

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

Turkeys

I saw two turkey chicks, but only one shows up in this video.

These wild birds were past the vegetable garden area, heading away into heavier brush. They were not afraid and took their time walking away.

You never know what kind of wildlife you come across at the Green Bay Botanical Garden.

Meet Mister Toad

Stella thought she had a playmate. I knew that would be bad for the toad, so I relocated it.

Now this little toad can safely find a better home for winter.

Hummingbird and woodpecker eating breakfast

I sat, waiting for the birds to come to eat. Here are a couple of little guys eating this morning.

Earlier there were four hummingbirds feeding, but only one returned for me to video.

I will refresh the sugar water today. Four parts of water and one part of sugar are boiled in my microwave. After it cools the hummingbirds will have another good meal.

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