An Interesting Visitor to My Summer Garden

[Dee & Frank Hughes]

With apologies to the thousands of Cardinals and Towhees that live here, it is nice to have a unique visitor every now and then. This guy showed up at dawn and has stayed all day.

I put my initials in my birdbook each time I see a new bird and I put BY (backyard) for the birds that visit my backyard.

If there's a break in the rain this afternoon, I'll see if I can dig up some hibiscus and bring tonight.

You know I haven't done it formally. I think I can name them all and certainly know when first timers like Mr. Grosbeak show up. But it's a good idea. Maybe a photo log?
And yes, I'd like some Scarlet hibiscus.

Beautiful! Do you keep a list of all the birds that come thru your habitat?
