Thursday's Sharing


 The new tray feeder is successful. It is all newer lumber and construction. I also figured out how to get it to level on that railing. The doves love tray feeders or eating off of the deck,

 

 

My cardinal showed up this morning and he was soaked from the morning rain.  I installed the new tray feeder late in the afternoon yesterday and he didn't show. I was glad to see him out there this morning. 


 The sparrow like sharing the space with the red one as long as he can get some seed. I bought some new sunflower plus safflower seed mixture and it is a hit for sure with the cardinal. I have house finches back in the area now but I don't have a visual to show yet. It is still on my camera chip. 


 

My geraniums in the front are blooming now. I like the flowers on this plant but they do show up as spots in the green rather to be close together. 


 I just realized that I hadn't shared my new tray feeder. I was tired of the old one that wobbled and wouldn't sit level anymore. I used all scrap wood pieces and small clamps keep it on the metal railing without causing a damage. Okay, old age is setting in as yes I did share this already. Check it out again if you want, or scroll on down. 


 The robin's nest next to my sliding glass door light is now being guarded by two birds. I went out for a quick look and was being attacked by one of them. The one is sitting shot gun outside the area. They try to draw you away from the area by flying ten feet away to hope you will follow.


 The other robin was actually sitting closer to the door ready to pounce. I am sure for now that they have eggs in the nest because of their behaviors. I will take the stairs down the deck to get out there now to keep from upsetting them.  Twelve to fourteen days to hatch and then the feed and leave the nest in a very short time. I hope all goes well. 

We got our gifts sent to our granddaughter this morning. She turns seven years old tomorrow. She can open her gifts on Saturday. Thanks for checking in today.
