Besides gardening, I feed the birds. I feed them year round. I will try to photograph some of them this year. Around the middle of February , I  buy meal worms for the bluebirds. I have several nest boxes that get occupied each spring. I guess Bluebirds are my favorite. I see twenty or thirty different species of birds in my yard through out the year. In the middle of March, I hang  the  hummingbird  feeders.  The  surveyor  males come in first,  then  fifteen  or twenty  days  later, the females show up. There will be upwards to two hundred  a day in the summer. I  put out ten sugar water feeders, front, back, and side. I am refilling everyday. In between, I'm gardening.I hope I inspire others to enjoy life  through  nature.  Love you all.

Have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell
