It started this morning when I ventured outside to fill the bird feeders – in my jammies and muck boots, nonetheless. I made quite the picture. You can do that when you live in the woods.
At first there was just one.
And then two.
And three.
Before I knew it…
I had 24 mourning doves gracing my feeders.
I’ve never seen so many mourning doves!
I used to get huge flocks of doves on the step under the feeders. One day there was a light snow and the doves looked like they were sliding on their bellies to eat and I convinced my Mom that they had no feet.
Your birds and critters are great. We had a lot of Doves around our home ,but the city is growing fast,and they don’t show up anymore. We do have squirrels,and they have places they know they can find a goodie. Lots of different birds in the spring and summer, by they must find a warmer place now. I want to thank you for the patterns, and I plan on making as many as I can before I die. I am 81 and in good health, but who know when God will call.
Leslie, I hope you are blessed enough to make them all – and the ones to come!
