Rain all day. Cold.
Feeders empty. Salvias bowed.
No cardinal flash, no bluebird scolding.
Counting days until the yard is loud with neighbors again.
Who’s missing their backyard crew right now?

Salvia towers and pulls the hummingbirds.
Coneflower stands broad and steady.
Cardinal flower burns at the water’s edge.
Each draws its own visitors to the same small space.
Of these four flowers, which one most defines the life it brings to the garden?

The Trailcam captures a spotted towhee catching a soldier fly. The composter provides a harvest for birds. 🪶 #birds #bird #birdgarden #gardeningforwildlife

As many as 50 birds show up in the morning. I have created a playground with their favorite things: a small bathing pond, trellises, artichoke plants for the yellow finches, reed fencing, berry plants, bunch grasses, rock piles, mulch piles, and trees. #bird #birdgarden #gardeningforwildlife #garden

If you feed songbirds in your garden, be watchful for their predators. Although, I don’t want them eaten, it is a sign of a successful inclusion of wildlife to see a Cooper’s Hawk entering the space. Didn’t fear me! 🪶 #birds #hawks #birdgarden #gardeningforwildlife #birdfeeder

The golden crowned sparrow 🪶 forages in the garden. Although sparrows can have a humble appearance, their whistles and songs are melodic, clear and spectacular. #birds #sparrows #birdgarden #gardeningforwildlife #wildlife #wildgarden

Hummingbirds visit the salvias in December. Orange sedge brings its color, and “hot lips” salvia, Salvia microphylla, is still blooming. #birdgarden #gardeningforwildlife #garden #gardening
