Wild Wild Woods: young birds, new feathers

young birds, new feathers

The cardinals have been bringing their young to the feeders, teaching them to find and crack open the sunflower seeds. The little male gaped and begged at the feeder tray and the little female caught on quickly, happily skipping through the fading hosta leaves for seeds from the feeder above.

About this blog "Wild Wild Woods"

Through 2018, the posts on "wild wild woods" were photos taken in my bird garden and a set-aside strip of land that was the old fence row when the suburban lots in my neighborhood were farmed land. That wooded area sheltered a variety of plants and wildlife among the trees, understory, and a brushpile.

Now, my windows look out on a pond.

My new location is another former farm field that became a neighborhood. Fortunately, the wetland was preserved. It includes a pond surrounded by wildflowers, grasses, reeds, and a few trees.

I am pleased to observe and enjoy these places for birds, critters, and plants of central Minnesota.
