Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and quite warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of sparrows, several house finches, several mourning doves, several blackbirds, and a fox squirrel.

I did multiple rounds of yardwork to pick up sticks from the savanna.  My partner Doug got that mowed.  We also raked up dry grass from some mowed parts of the prairie garden.  I spread grass seed over two path sections that needed it.  I hauled a lot of trolley loads to the firepit.

I saw a large bird fly over the yard, possibly a turkey vulture, but its head looked bigger -- dark, so not a bald eagle, but might have been a golden eagle.  It was dusky enough by then that I couldn't get a good look despite the proximity.

Now it's dark, and raining.  We need the rain; it's been a relatively dry spring here.

I remember that, now you mention it. That's possible.
