    They also like the seeds of the yellow ligularia 'Rocket'. It's hysterical when they land on the long stalk and it bends over from their weight.

    My neighbor is feeding them thistle; they come to my yard for a sip of water.

      The birds were not eating much with the cicadas here. Now that they are fading, they're chowing down at the feeders.

          I don’t have bears yet, but they’ve been seen in the county. We have coyotes, but it seems they aren’t true coyotes, but a cross between coyotes and wolves - coy wolves. It makes sense because they are bigger that western coyotes. I see them trotting down the walking trails sometimes.

            Fledgling birds and their mamas here. Watching a mom robin carefully monitor her fledgling. Also this morning we saw three sibling bluejays running and flying around together figuring out how to get to the feeders.

              We went for a hike on the West Circle trail in the Hyde Memorial State Park a couple of miles north of our house in Santa Fe. Back at the ranger station, a group of Flycatchers were doing their thing. At first they were a bit stand-offish, but as they got used to me they came closer. That, plus a 300mm telephoto ... 😊

                          What does your aerial do? Doesn’t look like the ones for TV to me. FM?

                            It gets terrestrial/freeview TV.
                            I ended our Sky satellite sub so we're using the old aerials plus free digital channels through the sky broadband.

                                  That is so very like our Song Thrush which perches top of a tree to sing

                                    This little guy has made a little hollow under my red twig dogwood. He likes snipping off the stems of plants and leaving them without eating them. So, you know, basically an a$$hole. Good thing he's cute.
