Relief from Triple Digits Came with Rain!<\/h2>\n

Just when we thought we couldn’t take it anymore, rain and cooler air both moved in over the weekend! \u00a0What a relief. \u00a0I spent much of the weekend outside on the porch or out in the rain with my rubber boots on. \u00a0As the rain arrived, so did the birds…<\/p>\n

Yellow Warblers<\/h2>\n

The birds may have been as excited about the rain as we were! \u00a0They were out in high numbers, at the feeders, in the trees, eating seeds and berries, and singing in the rain. \u00a0To my surprise, several Yellow Warblers spent the weekend with us at Little Piney! \u00a0\u00a0I could hardly in stay out of the rain, these little warblers were such a delight to watch. \u00a0Like little spots of sunshine, they flit non-stop from twig to twig among the elm leaves, then, in a streak of lemon-yellow rocket to the next elm. \u00a0I hope they stay with us for a few more days before heading on South for the winter.<\/p>\n

Orchard Oriole<\/h2>\n

Today another early migrant stopped by Little Piney. \u00a0During a break in the rain, \u00a0this Orchard Oriole flew out of the woods and landed in the same elm as the Yellow Warbler.<\/p>\n

Hummingbirds<\/h2>\n

The Hummingbirds were in rare form fighting over the feeders in the front and back. \u00a0We had Black-chinned and Ruby-throated both this weekend. \u00a0This one was more golden than green.<\/p>\n

Poke Weed Berries<\/h2>\n

Poke weed berries were a popular rainy day meal with the birds and the deer. \u00a0This tall green and fuchsia weeds grow wild all over Little Piney. \u00a0In another month they will be brown and straggly, but we will mow around them because they keep feeding the wildlife until frost. \u00a0If you ever wonder why we don’t keep Little Piney neatly mowed, it’s because our priority is wildlife habitat. \u00a0We only mow twice a year, to maximize food production and provide cover for the birds and animals.<\/p>\n

The rain will continue this week–good news for the wildlife and my young trees at Little Piney. \u00a0And good news for all who are tired of the oppressive heat. \u00a0Fall migration is just beginning, so more new birds will be passing through and stopping by Little Piney for food and water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
