Just watched what appeared to be a family of breakfasting in @thegreatgonzo's garden. 6 flew in together over my garden and started feasting on the tall wild flowers. One was definitely an adult with the red bits but all the other ones had tawny heads, so juveniles!

I know it's but it's hard to not notice a half a dozen bright yellow frolicking in & because here in it looks like Mars outside due to the Canadian wildfires. The humans are all inside so the birdies are out and about. This is fine!

The flew at the on the feeder, causing them to scatter. One hit the sliding glass doors nearby and knocked itself out. The hawk picked it up and flew off with dinner.

Let grow. , and need them

May, 2015

"As I write, thousands of hectares of such habitat are being destroyed under the blades of our mowers, and the bees, pollen butterflies and are going hungry. As a weed, it’s one of the most unpopular of the bunch: dandelion tap roots are notoriously hard to dig out, the plants have an almost unrivalled knack of propagating themselves, including in walls and cracks in paving where nothing else would live, and – to add insult to injury – they are often the first flower we see in spring and the last in autumn. The dandelion is bold and brash and unrelenting. But that is why it is brilliant. It’s virtually everywhere and nearly always in flower; it’s the ’s best friend.

", solitary bees and all visit dandelions for food, along with hoverflies, beetles, and such as the peacock and holly blue. and house eat the seed. Yet most of us gardeners miss out on the spectacle of watching wildlife feast on our dandelions, because we wage such a war against them as weeds."

April weather continues to be wild, but nature is unstoppable, and spring is marching on. And it is fabulous to watch the changes and transformations. After showing just some specks of vibrancy, the are now almost completely in summer plumage. They nest the latest of them all so I think they just enjoy being bright and colorful for as long as possible. I do not blame them :)

It is not just the big birds that are waking up after the winter, the smaller crowd is also singing their heads off and getting into snazzy summer outfits. I loved this unusually colored , and the are just adorable with the unpredictable patterns in which their yellow feathers come in.

With every day now, I see more signs of spring. Also the American that have been looking drab all winter are starting to change into their bright summer plumage. I love this look on them, it is so funny to see where the yellow shoots in on the individual .

A little morning (recorded a few weeks back). Maybe three inches from bill to tail and five paperclips in weight: the lovely lesser goldfinch.

March is well on its way into spring, and it is noticeable when you step outside right away. The and Grackles have even started to puff up already, and it is glorious to listen to and watch. The have also become a lot more vocal, and the are turning more and more yellow, changing into summer feathers. It is just so lovely to see the changes.

Snow days are fun because there is a bit more activity at feeders, and I love the pale background for photos too. The birds are all slightly more agitated as well, which can produce some fun shots. Here are some from today. It is wonderful to see more of the again. The are still quite vibrant, and having the King of the Yard over is always a treat.
