Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and cool.  It rained again last night.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out some potted plants to get ... well, what sun there is through the clouds.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a pair of rose-breasted grosbeaks, a male cardinal, a brown thrasher, and a fox squirrel.  :D

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I did some bushwhacking in the yard.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I planted a persimmon tree in the forest yard.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I did some bushwhacking in the yard.  There are more dead branches down too, some small enough to move easily, others big enough that all I could do was drag it more-or-less out of the way.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I planted the second persimmon tree in the forest yard.

EDIT 5/6/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I am done for the night.

Hello! I've seen you around all the "three weeks" posts. I, too, love bird watching and have been eyeballing one of those feeders that has the camera on it. I know I have a pair of Carolina wrens because they sing to me each morning, lol. But it would be cool to see who else lives out there.

I hope you don't mind strangers chiming in. :)

Welcome!

Yay!

There are many camera feeders to explore. The main drawback seems to be the small seed capacity. It's fine if you only get a few birds. But if you want to attract many, there's a tradeoff between refilling the seed constantly, or having other feeders without cameras.

We get Carolina and house wrens, cardinals, house finches, and all kinds of things. This week I've seen a couple of guests -- a male Baltimore oriole and a male rose-breasted grosbeak. :D

That's the point to Three Weeks for Dreamwidth! Feel free to hang around. I do birdfeeding posts daily here and in birdfeeding. You might also like common_nature.

Oh! You make a good point about the the seed so I think having multiple feeders sounds like the way to go. Thank you!

What a fun mix of visitors and permanent residents you have! I want to be able to track mine and note variations like that too eventually.

Thanks for the community recommendations also :D

I think I will stick around. Subscribing now, let me know if you’d like to have access as well.
