Unique activities for yesterday:
Started watching Jason Ward’s Birds of North America videos. This is a follow-up activity from the Cape May Spring Festival. There are 23 episodes on YouTube and I’m going to savor then 3 or 4 at a time rather than all at once. These are the first three:
Mowing grass. My husband and I divided the task this week. I did the sides (hills) and back parts of the yard and he did the front. It was much easier than doing the whole thing like I did previously. We are talking about replacing our gasoline powered lawn mower with an electric one. Neither one of us likes the gas fumes…and the electric mowers on the market seem to be viable at this point.
Downloading the birdfeeder cam. When I was downloading the bird feeder cam videos from the last week or so I discovered that a racoon visited again last Friday night. It was around 2 AM like the 2 other visits. This time the animal climbed up the post leaned out toward the feeder….and then started back down. Maybe it remembered the previous frustrating experience. One thing that was different: the racoon did not head away on the railing toward the stairs. It went toward the covered deck instead…not sure where it went from there. I’m glad I already have all the bags of seed inside the house rather than on the covered deck!
More birds are spending time in the trees than coming to our feeder but there was an incident when both cardinals were near the feeder at the same time. The female was eating, and the male seemed to be the lookout. The female is the more frequent visitor to the feeder overall.
