New year, new projects

Okay...So you might be wondering what the heck this is and why it looks so....well....UGLY.
It is the beginning of my potting station. I am re-purposing items. The pallets are from Wild Birds Unlimited. They get fresh seed every week. The seed comes in 20# bags on pallets. I took three of them home, my brother brought me one. Earlier this evening I started making my planting station. During the winter I will be storing my bike on the left and the mower on the right side. I have a long way to go, but I got this far today. The weather today was perfect for this project. Tomorrow should be even warmer. I have wood from an old fence that I will be adding. I am hoping to stain it when I get it done. This should help prolong the life of the station.

Avocets

We saw these Avocets at The Great Salt Plains during fall migration. It was sweet!

Painted Bunting


So my friend (Diana) told me she had a Painted Bunting on her feeder on Sunday (right, I thought). She emailed me some photos.
We do not get Painted Buntings in Norman, Oklahoma in the winter....It doesn't happen....ever...errr except this winter. It is a Painted Bunting and it is winter. Everyone is amazed and excited about this bird. He has been eating White Proso Millet and loving it! I hope I get a chance to go see it. Amazing!
