We are not the only ones waiting for rain. The wild animals are, too.
Birdbaths are a special treat for the birds, even ones that are homemade puddles. As the water ran here, I took buckets of water to my flowers and tomatoes.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Birds came to the water I ran for them today. There’s a birdbath by the house, but this puddle was just right for this feathered friend.
It is so dry here, I figured that after I watered my plants I would let some run into a puddle for the birds.
More than one bird liked this water today, but I only videoed this sparrow.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

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.

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

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