A pileated Woodpecker comes to my birdfeeder

This feathered friend never came this close before this spring. Bob and I would see a few by our woods, but never near the house.

I was so happy to get this video today while Rebecca, Andy, and I were having lunch. We carefully videoed through the window, trying not to scare it away. It was so nice to capture it eating shelled peanuts today.

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

Hungry, but wary woodpecker

This little woodpecker wanted a peanut but it paused, and checked me out, before grabbing a nut and flying away.

I was waiting for the hummingbird to return. This little guy came close, so I videoed him as he grabbed a peanut.

Hummingbird feeding

I had to sit quietly and wait to get this hummingbird feeding on my porch.

My arms were about to give out before it returned, but I held out and got the hummingbird buzzing about the feeder!

I hope he enjoyed his breakfast.

Terro Liquid Ant Baits — review

If ants invade your kitchen, this product will help. It really works.

Just make sure you put it where children and pets can’t get at this bait!

One day later, almost all the ants have disappeared from my kitchen.

If the ants stayed outside where they belonged, I would not kill them. But I had to stop this invasion and it worked.

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

Feeding the birds

I start my morning by feeding my cats and dog. I also feed the birds, wild birds that is.

I set out the birds’ food and they entertain me by coming to my feeder.

I think the birds and I are good for each other.

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