sat in the sun on the deck listening to the visiting birds as they stop by on their way south…

it was lovely to hear all their little voices…

Merlin told me it heard thirteen birds in fifteen minutes…

and a yellow rumped warbler…

not long after, I had spotted ten of them, coming and going to the feeder or snacking on goodies on the ground…

reminded me of all the birds we heard and saw at the cottage in June…

I enjoy spending time in the garden watching the birds that come to the feeders, and the pond, for a drink and maybe a bath, lol…

sometimes I will see a new visitor but can’t quite identify them, but the Merlin sound app often gives me something to compare them with…

yesterday I’d seen a cute little bird, about the size of a chipping sparrow, but didn’t have time to look it up… today I was sitting in the garden with the sound app on and discovered it was a pine siskin…

technology is so cool;-)…

well, what a day yesterday was… spent the majority of it in the garden, watching the water lily and all the birds flitting about the space… maybe they are starting to head south, sigh…

first to the feeder came the Downy Woodpecker… it was there for a while before flying off… believe that is the first one I’ve seen this summer…

the White-breasted Nuthatch popped by, and posed for a photo;-)…

next were the chickadees, and there were a lot of them, but sadly, they didn’t want to eat out of my hand…

and then, a Tennessee Warbler stopped by the pond for a drink… my Merlin Bird ID was certainly well used, lol…

my neighbour gave me celery out of his garden and a friend brought me carrots and parsley from her garden plot…
