@kcman5 We gave the city about 13 years ago and moved out to the boonies......these pics are taken either from my home office window or me standing in the front yard. We have left our yard natural (with some editing - LOL - I like flowers!) - but we have what we like to call a wildlife friendly area. The downside is that there are no good restaurants close by so I have to cook - LOL.
Well you are very lucky to life in such an environment. Most of the natives around my place that were in abundance 15 years ago are now gone - replaced by the cursed minor bird - they are hell bent on destroying all our native birds here
@kcman5 we appreciate it every day. We have blue jays and cowbirds that destroy other birdies - everyone loves the blue jays because they are so unique looking but I chase them away.
