The Red-winged Blackbirds have driven off everything but the White-winged Doves and few house sparrows. Really bummed about it b/c I had so many pretty house finches. Here's a pic of one that may be eating half of a newly emerged dragonfly. That bums me out too.

That brown spot is really cute!

Well, I almost cried when I realized that my neighbor was cutting down her mulberry tree. Went over and begged her not to but she said that there was so much rotting fruit on the ground that her daughter couldn't play in the yard. That means I won't have any tanagers, grosbeaks, orioles, or waxwings this year. My mulberry trees aren't big enough yet. I couldn't stand the sound of the chain saw, so I left. Just got back. She didn't just cut down the mulberry. She cut down every tree in her backyard. I now have a view of her ugly house. She probably wants the grass to grow. Stupid woman! My only consolation is that her electric bill is going to triple this summer --- ha!
