02_27_2011 Bird Paradise on the Back Porch

Everyday brings more and more birds to the backyard. Dave got all the feeders up just in time for this influx. And he got the heated, bubbling bird bath set up too. And, new houses have been placed in the front and the back.

Our very productive wren house remains by the front door. Wonder who will live there this year - Wrens or Chickadees? They've traded off each year so far. A new Flicker house was added to the house. I really hope they move into this. A second Wren House awaits discerning little birds in the back. And finally, a Ledge Nest (for Robins or House Finch) has been affixed in the front and the back of the house. I'll keep you informed on any guests.

In addition, new patio furniture is in place. The deck continues to really blow us away. We have been able to sit out and enjoy it when the weather warms enough.

Only three tasks remain. 1) Stain/poly the deck (need it to warm up more). 2) Plant new flowers in the new flower beds (need that last sneaky snow storm to happen). 3) Make the squirrels stop pooping on our new patio chairs! A new war has begun. Dave bought some spray for defense. Hopefully it works.

Even with the beginning of this particular squirrel war, the back is looking awesome!
