Feeding Frenzy.

4-6-09 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday I finished clean up in the pool area and did more pruning the day before. Today we are getting heavy rain which we need. I can tell it’s heavy because the sump pump started working shortly after the rain started.

The bird feeder has been busy. The Red Wing Blackbirds came through a few days ago. They stop by for a few days each spring and fall on their way to the summer and winter hangouts. The Red Bellied Woodpeckers and Purple Finches are full time here.

New blooms: spice bush, anemone, squill.
