Oh wow it is posts like these with bird photos that make me wish I carried a real camera with me! For the life of me, despite being able to capture other things on my phone, I can’t seem to get a decent picture of the birds around here! Awesome shots.
It also reminds me that I need to invest in some bird feeders for the yard again this year. I neglected them in the last few in favour of investing in flowers for the pollinators but have hummingbirds and others to invite to the yard too!
Bird photos take lots of quietly sitting still time! I love attracting the birds to the feeders to come close so that I can enjoy them. And when they are close by it is easier to get photos!
I love that you are planting for the pollinators! I just learned that we need to be concerned about leaving lights on Outdoors at night. Moths that are circling the porch light are doing so because they are disoriented and instead of being out doing their pollination work we are distracting them with outdoor lighting.
Wow I never thought of that. I usually make sure to turn the outdoor lights off at night to reduce light pollution, not shine a light at my neighbours, and because I am cheap!
Now I have a 4th reason! ;)
