My landscape remains pretty crappy. First job this morning, even before tackling the driveway, was to dig out access to bird and squirrel feeders.
The little beggars were watching and waiting. There was quickly standing room only at the finch feeder, the juncos zeroed in on St. Francis, later joined by a mourning dove, the female half of my cardinal pair hit the green hopper feeder, and hairy woodpeckers and a northern flicker started working over the suet.
The squirrels? Those slugabeds were nowhere to be seen; obviously sleeping in. That was OK with the chickadees that were busily raiding the striped sunflower seeds intended for the tree rats.
It was a pretty busy backyard.
Then I had to do the driveway. I'm getting tired of this stuff.
