Then Came the Wren…

Lately I’ve been writing quite a bit more about the weather changes, this, perhaps might have sounded fictitious, funny or exaggerated to certain point. Well it isn’t. Here is one likely reason for the variety of weather conditions: My location in the State of Georgia in relation to the Jet Stream and Semitropical weather of the south.jetstream

Look at the image on the right, the red dot indicates my home’s location.

 


 

On a rainy day I’m a fortunate guy to have a little friend as the Carolina Wren to take care of the fallen seeds on my deck. They also cheer up the backyard with their songs!

Look Outside my Window!

I think this weather is a blend of the four seasons…really! One day you have a sunny day and warm temperature then the following day gets cold enough to freeze our butts! Other days get windy and humid to turn into a devastating stormy rain. Birds are still coming every morning to wait outside for their food…and it’s still dark as night!

Welcome my friends! Look outside my window, do you see that bird back there in that bush? He’s a Northern Cardinal, long time resident of my backyard and majority inhabitant this time of the year.L-128

The Northern Cardinal rule the neighborhood and believe or not they get a bit demanding too! Here’s a sample of what I mean:

That solitary bird on that top branch is an European Starling, he has grown and shows the colors of adulthood, ironic thing is that being a species so gregarious and numerous now he’s alone and look sad!L-131

Bonus:

fad |fad|noun

An intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, esp. one that is short-lived and without basis in the object’s qualities; a craze.

How many people do you know that wants to do what ever they see or read on the media?
