The Parkarosa Bird Buffet is pretty busy lately. Mostly I have Chickadees, a Nuthatch, Pine Siskins, and various finches. However, there are some new birds hanging around lately I thought I'd share.
This year I hung a Hummingbird feeder in the buffet tree. It's getting customers.
I'm pretty sure this is a Calliope hummingbird. Haven't been able to see it's chest yet but we only get two types at my house and this definitely isn't a Rufous. The Rufous is brown.
A Black Headed Grosbeak showed up about 2 weeks ago.
The poor fellow seems to be alone. I've yet to see a mate.
He eats a lot too.
This last customer I call Birdus Squirrelus.
We've always had grey squirrels around here, but this is the first time any have bothered my feeders. He shows up while the front sprinklers are on which is why he's soaking wet. He spends a few minutes eating, then leaves. So I don't think I'm going to worry about it, unless he starts bringing friends. If that happens, I will be having a long talk with my cats.
Asa has new clothes. My sister, Jodie, made this dress to fit her.
She has some more she's made available for purchase on her web site, Jodie's Creations. If you have an Iplehouse JID girl, give her site a visit. Jodie's Creations
I've been working on Asa's kimono when I can. I have the body
and sleeves done.
I just have to put them together. It's going to fit Asa perfectly.
This is going to be my last post for awhile. We're heading out for Rhode Island to visit our daughter and son-in-law for a few days. I'll resume posting when I get back.
Live long and prosper. \\//
