Settling in for Winter

Category: My Garden Projects | Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:16 am

This morning, Sat. 10NOV12, between 06:30 to 07:00 my garden wildlife observations.. A few squirrels as always but a surprising variety of birds,
Turtle Doves
Cardinals
Mocking Birds
Blue Jays
Carolina Wrens
Red Head Woodpecker
Red Wing Blackbirds, first time seeing these guys..
These birds visit the lawn underneath two pecan trees in my back yard.. I suspect they're picking up the pieces of fallen pecans that the mower shattered as the lawn was mowed recently.. I've taken a few pics but the results are very unsatisfactory as the zoom function on my cheap camera want bring them in nearly enough to find the bird when pic is uploaded onto the computer.. (I know about enlarging the pic and croppig out the subject (bird) but, cheap 2.1 Pixel camera again, enlarging the pic enough to see the bird becomes so grainy/fuzzy you can hardly tell it is a bird, forget determining variety.)
One of my young 2nd cousins began construction on a lean-to extension on my shed that's needed for weather protection and security for mower, tiller, line trimmer, etc.

Sounds like things are getting interesting there with all those birds coming to visit your yard.
Good idea, that lean-to for the mower.
I really feel like winter is just around the corner.
