STRETCHING - A Ring-Necked Duck shows his name-sake neck ring during a stretch. Waterfowl are showing up - on queue after the Equinox. Research has proven that is is the change in photoperiod that triggers wildlife (and plants) - including migration.

FOR A SONG - The equinox - when daylight and dark are equal - triggers changes in the natural world. Plants and animals' behavior changes with the changes in daylight and night. Birds - like this Song Sparrow - return with the Spring equinox.

when the daylight and night are equal - triggers changes in the natural world. Plants and animals respond to the changes in daylight and night. Migrating birds - like this Song Sparrow - return with the changes.
SMART BIRDS - A few of the Turkeys in the flock frequenting our yard have learned that they can bump the bird feeder to shake seeds loose - this one gets a little wing assist.

ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG - An anthem of the 70's - but the way to get around outside today. ;-)

THE RIGHT PLACE - A female Cardinal at the feeder marked "birds" - so she came to the right place. ;-)
