Ice birds

We turned on the water last night so our pipes wouldn’t freeze and it made for some nice photos. As I was taking the photos out the front window I heard the Carolina Wren singing and got these from the little window out my door. His singing was so cool!

Thank you,

Kimberly Chason

I had a flock of cedar waxwings visiting my front garden for about a week..It's a good thing they are pretty because they are quite messy!

The Purple Martins are back!

We had two scouts on Saturday, one on Monday and several more today. They have been checking out our purple martin house and we hope they are thinking about settling in!
