Not a particularly uncommon bird, but a first for me, rose breasted grosbeaks visited today. I was alerted by my neighbor, and was able to get this photo.

About 10 years ago I tore up this boring shady patch of English ivy and winter creeper, and replaced it with native woodland species. Today it is much more interesting. Trillium, Jacob’s ladder, sensitive fern, native Iris, plus serviceberry, spicebushes, ninebark, sassafras and more.

I’ve been trying for years to encourage the spring beauties ( Claytonia virginica) to colonize in my parkway. I’ve planted a few plugs taken from consenting neighbors over the years. Looks like it’s spreading a little. #

My intrepid bird spotters had an early release day on Wednesday, so we headed to to find another bird in the scavenger hunt. Mission accomplished!

Getting a late start but my intrepid bird finders and I finally checked off our first two birds in this years Audubon Bows for Birds Scavenger Hunt. Our first two stops were at Emmenegger Park and Powder Valley Conservation Center. 2 down 10 to go.

This robin gets two awards from me: Best nest builder of the year and Bravest mom of the year! I don’t know what winds were gusting to this afternoon, but at times I was afraid the sycamore was going to come down on the house! There were multiple times when the nest was upside down. But she clung on and so far both she and the nest are still in the tree! I have video but I have to figure out how to work with it. #

A few weeks ago we received permission from Kirkwood Park’s senior horticulturist to net the legacy tree our older son Chris arranged to have planted in memory of his brother/ our son Michael. Looks like it’s doing its job.
