Cool weather brings cool birds to the bubbler, including two more firsts for me: a magnolia warbler and a black and white warbler.

A bay breasted warbler (with wing bars) and Nashville warbler visited the bubbler today. The bay breasted is a first for me.

A belated post to announce the September issue is out in print and online, our 20th Anniversary Edition! In it we take a look back at some of the people who have contributed to our pages along the way, some of the places we’ve been, events we’ve been a part of and more. A big thank you to all!

It’s been too hot most if the summer to do much picture taking, but I saw hummers visiting the maypops, so had to take advantage of the opportunity.

My wife, Mary, and I made our first visit to Walters Gardens in Zeeland, Michigan earlier this week. Their representative Josh Roggenbuck gave us a wonderful tour of the growing facilities and fields there. Beautiful demonstration gardens and fields! Thanks for your hospitality! (Walters Gardens is a wholesale grower of many Proven Winners perennials and other perennials that end up in local St. Louis gardens via your favorite metro area independent garden centers.)

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. #

The April issue is out in print and online. We’re very pleased to feature the beautiful photos and beginner birding tips from birder and photographer Margy Terpstra. Check out her blog at hummerhavenunltd.com. The spring migration is underway!

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!
