Hanging fushia will attract them and they went loony-tunes over the coleus (spelling) that grows blue stalky flowers - up and down like an ear of corn!

      You spelled it right and I had one of those kind in my shade garden this year. I just cut the blue stalky flower off yesterday to put in my fall window box. It looks good with my cuttings of ornamental grass fronds that I always stick in there. It does resemble an ear of corn!   

Imagine driving along and seeing all of those huge birds up in the trees. It would kinda be like going through Jurassic Park! 

Truer words were never spoken!

Stunning and colorful! Thanks Patti!

Oh my, that's amazing! How do they do it? 

I have a Cuckoo that comes out every hour with a bunch of dancers and sings to me!

   Yeah I've seen a couple cuckoos around here lately too!

                                                                                                                  


     Happy Bird-day BC!                                                                                   
Hope it's everything bright and sunny!

MAKfalcon (MAK): 4 the 1st time I saw A and B work together catching prey. A flushed out pigeons B stooped and missed. They both put on a show flying up  ...

Wow, MAK! You must have been high-fiving all over the place for that one! You go, Girl! What an experience! Cranes at Montezuma and now this? You. Are. On. A. ROLL!

No high fives Bobbie, I was by myself but...  I was all smiles all mornin' long!!! Mayor Dan doesn't go down in the mornings anymore. He goes fishing instead! FISH over these magnificent birds of prey!
I've been on a roll ever since I fell in love with Peregrine Falcons!

   Thanks Bobbie! These birds have one-up on the brown headed cowbird which also lays its eggs in other birds' nests. Simply amazing that they can hold onto their eggs like that!

This is one of the most exciting watches by Archer & Beauty in a long time.  So glad Makadoodle was there to see it, experience it, and report it.  They have been very elusive lately when many of the watchers have gone downtown.  I've only been lucky to see them on Xerox after the sun sets. A&B are really bonded now.

Amen Joyce!

 

 

What are stink bugs? Guess I have been away too long, as I do not remember these... tho I have heard that bedbugs (now, that really is a "Big Ick") are thriving... peeeee-yuuuuuu!

"We don't have them here in western NY that I know of."
Actually we do have them and I saw one the other day on Dans car. At the time we didn't know what it was. Now we do!   

   They look like submarines!   

I like the looks of that desert falcon named Copper. The pic of the back of it is really unique! Thanks Donna!
