Miscellaneous Fall Bird Chores

Hi,

Looks like summer is winding down... The late bloomer below states it rather succinctly...

So how to prepare for the fall? Let's see...
  • Well, we've heard Otis the Eastern Screech Owl (or one of his brethren) out in the woods and we had to get a new owl box ready... The old one had rotted beyond repair. That's done.

  • The report is back on the new "Sumseeds" - those caffeinated sunflower seeds for humans. Our friend Michelle says that they do indeed give you a boost! She says that she'd buy them for her husband, a USCG commander, who has to endure 12-hour shifts at the helm of a cutter without the benefit of liquid java. Makes sense to me.
  • What else??? Oh, be sure to keep a close eye on your hummingbird feeders! The hummers are getting ready for their southern migration, and they're going to need the nutrition.
  • Looks like the spiders are coming in early... Expect a rough winter.
  • Time for more bird-related projects also... In the past, we took on such endeavors as:
    • Building a birdhouse.
    • Experimenting with the NovaBird camera.
    • Creating the Flickr library.
    • Developing a blogroll.
    • Holding 5 contests.


    But what projects/topics would you like to see this blog assume?
