Beautiful!

This made my morning!! Great video — and I loved the rascal squirrel getting his own from the birdfeeder . . . .
Wonder why these lovely birds come to this yard? Look at the background to see all the wildflowers and native grasses (weeds to many) filled with seed heads and natural perching spots. It’s not just what’s in your bird feeder, it’s where it stands that counts.
Gorgeous and fun to watch also…
Thanks for the kind comments. You got it Candace. Our yard is kept very natural and we allow wildflowers to grow through much of the lawn, and just mow paths through them as needed. We also leave a lot of brush cover around. The over manicuring and chemical use of modern properties, is definitely not in the interest of wildlife.
