Recently I purchased a bird "sock" feeder to hang on my patio. My thought was that maybe I could attract some wild birds to come and visit. I have been pleasantly surprised these past few steamy & very hot days! Lately while enjoying my breakfast & dinner on the patio I've spotted several wild finches stopping by for a meal. The finches are a beautiful yellow color and they even allowed me to get close enough to admire them on the sock feeder. Luckily I hung the sock feeder in such a way that those pesky squirrels can't get to it without falling off and scaring away my new friends. I'm also seeing lots of hummingbirds flock to their feeder, back from their winter retreat.
This morning while riding my bike to work I spotted 2 woodpeckers on the tree out front but they were too far up to get a good picture. There are two other birds very close by. That would be Rudy and Naato my pet lovebirds. They are busy sitting on eggs and their 2 new babies that hatched 6 days ago! Imagine my excitement when I arrived back from Texas and heard little chirps coming from the nest box! I can't wait to get a shot of the new babies once they fly out of the coup. Stay tuned for more......
