Spring has sprung and so have the birds and bugs. If you take a moment to
watch what is going on in your yard, you might just be amazed!
This year, I wanted to attract yellow finches, so that meant I had to provide
them with their favorite food, thistle. So much for thinking I could fill the feeder weekly -
I am filling it daily!!! Honestly, I am going to have the chubbiest birds in the neighborhood this summer!
Here are some creatures that have chosen my yard this spring.

Please take time to offer food for our precious wildlife. It doesn't take a lot of time
and it is so rewarding.
And please be kind to all creatures!
