Winter has been BRUTAL!


We have had a brutal winter. We believe our tropicals will not return. We are leaving them alone until Spring as they say, "Maybe they
will come up from the ground"> If so, we do not want to further damage them by cutting on them now. The yard is bleak except for the BIRDS! We've got about 100 or so American Goldfinches. They are so much fun to watch!

On the left feeder is a house finch, notice it's red head. The other ones are the American Gold Finches. They are yellow when they are up North, but they are this color here. The white feeder is called a feed sock. It is amazing how many flock to it. Below notice a beautiful Cardinal. He likes the black oil sunflower seed.

Only excitement in the yard and boy are they fun to watch.
