Feeding Wild Birds

Right on the money. Single hens are coming in today. Toad eggs in the pools created by the club terraces.

I was excited for a minute thinking toad eggs were Duluth ralphies meat birds.

I was excited for a minute thinking toad eggs were Duluth Ralphie's meat birds.

I think he gave up on that project.

I think he gave up on that project.

Yeah I had heard that and the people who got some from him did too.

Saw the first Common Grackle of the season. Shouldn't be very long until the female Red-wings and the Yellow-heads show up.

The ducks are discovering the seed I throw down for the doves. How cute is that???

Grackles! They've been here for 3 wks, absolute hogs, had to stop feed, Red Wings have moved to wetland reeds. April has been so wet and cold haven't mixed any Humming Bird feed or washed feeders. Next week, high 60s low 70s with night time in the 50s, hang one and see if they show up.

The only thing I like about the grackles is that they run off the starlings. The Red-wings here stick around in spite of the grackles.
