SEEDY - Columbines, Aquilegia, both natural and introduced, exist on all continents except Antarctica. Spent blooms tend to spread seeds which make Columbines multiply in the patio garden.

NOT A PICKY PECKER - We love the variety of birds we attract to our New Hampshire forest yard and we put out a variety of bird seed to attract that variety. While we think of woodpeckers as mainly visiting suet feeders - we learned that Downy Woodpeckers, like this male, like one of the shelled grains in the Finch Lovers seed in the Finch sock and are also attracted to the oranges we put our for the Orioles. Our woodpeckers are not picky eaters.

THE CHICKS - Heron chicks grow really fast. By two weeks of age chicks are big enough to leave the nest and perch in nearby branches. There are four nests with chicks on the beaver pond this year - and these chicks are the largest of the 9 or 10 chicks we've counted so far.
