They loved the idea of it, but couldn't use their yard until the fledglings left. Some areas of town get a lot of quail. I've heard woodpeckers and mourning doves. And later in the summer the very fast hummingbirds. <br /><br />Are your jays like the Scrub Jays we get north of you?

We only have the post. Today, it occurred to Hick that he could find a top at the flea market.<br /><br />Nothing exotic like that Gambel's Quail around here. We had a pair of redheaded woodpeckers Friday evening, perched on the side of the pole that holds our dusk-to-dawn light (I've only seen them singly before), and I saw a red-winged blackbird last week. We do have hawks all over the place, and blue jays that sit on the back porch rail and steal dry dogfood.

I can hardly keep our ground level birdbath filled; the heat is dissipating the water pretty fast. <br /><br />A friend gave me Amazon Prime for my birthday. I was doing just fine with my 2 DVDs a week from Netflix in my mailbox. This does not get filed under 'simplify my life', which I am obsessively try to do. I'm not an online shopper nor do I want to watch movies 24/7. Why do people buy other people gifts that THEY would like? My mother was a great actress, gushingly effusive when someone gave her something she didn't like. When they came to visit, she would hurriedly put the item in a place of prominence. So glad I am from a more callus generation! So hard to live a simple life! <br /> LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952752325170210470noreply@blogger.com
