Most people usually put water in their tub before a bath - but I guess Woodbarter admins and mods are a different breed and why they are admins and mods!!!
Got one decent shot of this female Anna's floating around my wife's hanging basket ....
I also saw this bird on a recent hike. Couldn't figure out what it was. Asked around on the central Oregon Audobon site and they identified it as a fox sparrow. Evidently, the Pacific northwest variety has changed to be very dark grey with hardly any white. If you look up fox sparrows you'll see they typically have lots of cinnamon brown color and white splashes.

What some black bears did to a 7 acre corn field. Also some bait sites I worked. Finally caught him.
A few from Wyoming last fall. The horse is on the Wind River Indian Reservation. The rock is called Castle Rock if I remember correctly.
Last ones for right now. A display at one of our local state parks that I donated the wormy chestnut for. The lake there was built by the civilian conservation corps
And I got mad when I saw the bottom with regular pine. They said they run out of chestnut so I made them come and get more to finish it right. Haven't been back to see it
And I thought deer were destructive. Bears just demolished that corn field.
Sweet corn or regular field corn?
Field corn
Even Lil Mikey would be lured in with that bait - well except for the lick blocks - he'd rather get his salt from a shaker thank you. Hope you were able to put those dudes under the jail and confiscated their trucks, guns, and 4-wheelers.
Rare photos of Alien Life Forces or maybe they were just more billionaires but from another planet!
Have a game camera set up at a jobsite for progress photos and caught these aliens at night.
Coming in for a landing
Here they are marching across the site!
A late straggler trying to catch up with the others!
Bye Bye! Y'all come back now - you hear!

Stuff we have to put up with at work...
Ahhh, I'm jealous. I'm gradually acquiring my herd of hummers. There is a bird shop about 3 blocks away that has a number of feeders in their back yard and they have 100's of hummers. I guess I get their sloppy seconds overflow! It takes awhile for them to find Lil Mikey's offerings! They usually discover the bee balm first, then the zinnias, buddleia, salvias, catmint and Cardinal Flower next then - the feeder. They have within the last two weeks discovered the feeder - but only one or two yet. They never visit, or at least I have never seen them on my cleome, pentas, daylilies, lilies. The anise is sorta hidden - so they have to be moved. Occassionally they visit a hosta (I have 100's), the phlox has not bloomed this year (got out late), and I have limited amount of salvia this year- I pulled up all the Blue and Black as it was getting invasive. And the white sage, crocomosia and pineapple sage hasn't bloomed much yet. -

A tip on the feeders, get them out early and keep them clean and filled. We usually see our first hummingbirds in April,long before anything other than daffodils and crocus are blooming. Once you get some and they nest on your property, they will return each year.
We live out in the middle of corn fields and timber and when we first put out a feeder, took a month for one to find it/us. Years later and we still have large numbers every year.
