How do we define feasting? Its basic meaning describes the consumption of an elaborate meal, often accompanied by entertainment, which takes place to mark a special event. Sure sounds like Thanksgiving, right? Thanksgiving, for many of us, is a day when we settle down to an impeccable table, often decked out with the “special” china, to partake in a feast of the best and most abundant food of the season, all while sharing it with our closest friends and family members.

September is a month of transitions. Family vacations have come and gone, baseball begins to give way to football, and school (and all its activities) becomes the focus for many of us. Outside, the heat of summer is replaced by the cool breezes of autumn and flowers are transitioning into seeds and berries. And our trees, still green at the start of the month, will soon dazzle us with their brief, but spectacular, show of colors. Birds are in transition, too. Parental duties are now just a memory for most. Shorter days lead to restless stirrings in anticipation of their long journey to winter ..read more

Woodpeckers are truly wonderful. They are some of our most loyal feeder visitors and always bring an entertaining array of activities and excitement to our backyards. But you might also call them wondrous.  This is due in no small part to their amazing assortment of adaptations which allow them to live a punishing existence that most other birds would probably think of as a life condemned to hard labor. Consider the following: While excavating a cavity, a woodpecker’s head can strike a tree’s surface at speeds up to 13 mph. The force of this impact (approximately 10G’s) would be enough t ..read more

1y ago
What is it about bluebirds? They just seem to be one of the most endearing birds to be found anywhere…but why? Maybe it’s their gentle demeanor. Social by nature and seldom alone, they rarely appear excitable or aggressive and seem to treat each other with the good-natured and calm deportment of an old friend. Truly the type of friend we all wish we had. Could it be their melodious and enchanting song? Always pleasing to the ear and rarely missing when a family of bluebirds is nearby.  Their common call note is a sweet sounding tura or turalee, and their song is a happy, musical phrase t ..read more
