More about birds

I am thoroughly enjoying the birds in the yard.  I am beginning to recognize some of their songs.  Here are a few more photos of our happy birds.

All the gardens are growing well.  I am delighted to find that the milkweed seeds I planted last year, are finally coming to life.  We should be able to feed the Monarchs well now.  In addition, we have a variety of plants that will provide nectar to all types of butterflies and bees, as well as food for caterpillars.

 We planted our second round of corn yesterday.  First round was Silver Queen, this second was Peaches and Cream, a bicolor corn.  We have also planted both pole beans and bush beans.  Pole beans are up, with two sets of leaves.  No sign of the bush beans yet.
