This summer a couple of Scrub Jays brought their babies to the improved bird station, and it was enjoyable watching them feeding them from the feeders! :)
Now they are in the habit of being there, and are welcome guests! :)
In the past we didn't see many Scrub Jays. It was mostly Stellar Jays, so it's fun to currently have both! :)
Most of the summer song birds and hummers have left, with the exception of the American Gold Finches, which are commonly the last of the finches to leave since they have their babies later than the others. (This is due to their love of lining their nests with thistle down, which requires waiting for the thistle to go to seed to procreate.) You'll notice, now that mating season is over, the males bright yellow colors are now subdued, like the female's. :)
The corn stalks have now reached their full height and the window of the tool shed can no longer be seen from the house! :)
Summer is having her last dry breath, with temps' this week in the 80's and next week it's expected to be in the 70's! The nights are noticeably cooler now, and the morning dew, more thick! :)
It makes a great early dance as the steam lifts up and evaporates! :)
The green house is bursting it's seems with both tomato plants and morning light! :)
The calendar says we have 2 and a half weeks left of summer! The day temp's and dry weather agree with the calendar! However their's no denying that Fall is in the air this crisp September morn'! :)
