The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.
If you would like to see more, please take a look at my Gardening Page
These lovelies are Brown Thrashers. I guess a baby was nearby while I was taking photos, as they kept scolding me. This photo of two side by side show how different their markings can be.
Thrashers are usually seen in the denser flower beds in our yard. They toss leaves and sticks while looking for insects. I assume that’s where they get their name, from all that thrashing! They are actually quite noisy!
These photos were taken mid Summer even though I am posting them as a winter storm blows into Northwest Arkansas. I guess I am not quite ready for cold weather yet! 😉
I like adding blogging music to my Garden Guest posts.
Rascal Flatts, I Like the Sound of That
So, what’s happening in your back yard?
