We had a couple of days that mornings started cold and rapidly turned to full sunshine and temperature rose to 57ºF. It felt like summer!

What a difference it makes to have a bright day and warmer temperatures with a balmy breeze!

I haven’t been home much lately,  because I’ve been shopping and doing some errants since it has been nice outdoors. I’ve noticed that birds are eating more now, as soon as I fill the feeders they fight to get to be first, two hours later, all the food is gone!

Again I’ve seen a lot of Mourning Doves just sitting next to the clay saucers and eat like no day tomorrow! They take possession of the feeders…that is until a Northern Mockingbird shows up and the banquet ends! (He kicks all the doves out!)  Yeah! That’s my boy! 🙂
