Feeding Wild Birds

[ValerieJ]

We had so many cherries this year that it must have overwhelmed the birds. We are getting loads of them. Yay!!! First year!!!

Tartarian honeysuckle at the club is loaded with berries - the birds are feasting on them.

Why are juvenile starlings so onary? They yanked the morning glories off the plant yesterday. Do they eat flowers?

We saw the eagle today, had 6 grosbeaks at the feeder this morning, the squirrels and doves are back in force and I even had a crow here. Haven't seen many Steller Jays, and we usually have a ton of those, and not one purple finch at all and we were seeing several of those 2 weeks ago, but it seems some of the wildlife is slowly returning.

Everyone is still pretty quiet out there.

A sparrows nest got blown out of our tree. I was going to throw it away after I checked it over and nothing was in it. I thought to check it over again and dug in it a little bc it was a really big bunch of stuff. Good thing I did, there were 3 babies in it! I set the nest in a hanging planter and the parents have been tending to them for a few days. I think they’re getting ready to fledge today bc all 3 are outside the nest in the planter hanging out
