Ups and Downs…

My son Tyler, just turned 9 years old on May 7th, but he will have his Pool Party on May 25th. Because all children will be out of School Year by then. This also mean that we, the parents are going to be very busy.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, our trees are looking green and have plenty of leaves. Everything from grass, bushes, shrubs, weeds or trees are growing at fast pace now.

This year I ‘ve noticed that European Starlings are more numerous than previous years and are hanging out in this area. One thing I must say, is that they are more voracious than the Brown-headed Cowbirds, also unruly.

I also have counted 5 squirrels that are also causing havoc at the feeders.

Other that the mentioned above, all seems to be OK and birds are in good shape.
