Thanks, Merri. Hope all goes well for you. Hugs

Thanks, Cathy. I can't believe it! The wrens just fledged a brood and are feeding them out in the bushes, but they are back on the porch, singing up a storm and fiddling around with the nest box. Never a dull moment.

@@threecollie14 Oh how wonderful! I have no idea how many broods they might hatch in a season. Wow.

Thank you! Horned Larks are a common winter roadside bird here, especially when snow drives them to the edges of the pavement to forage. I guess they also nest in the fields here very early in the year, but I have never seen that myself, alas

The sound is the alarm call of the Eastern Chipmunk. It is alarming to all the other chipmunks, which may be heard in the background. It is also alarming to the bird feeders, as the chipmunks empty them as fast as they can.

Thanks, next I want to get one of them floating over the little waterfall. They seem to do it just for fun.

Thanks! I watched this bird for a long time and it never did get that little catfish eaten.

Thanks!

LOL

They were actually having a little brush just before this started, but I was too slow to capture it. We often see them having impromptu races out on the road. I guess people are the same everywhere. lol

I think it was just the wind kicking up its feathers. It was flying well, and the pair hung around all summer, although they appear to have found someplace else to nest. Thanks

You are not wrong! Upstate NY is different, very different, from that other NY to the south of us!

You seen the Amish Horse & Buggy Drifting!! FULL SEND very cool :)

I just saw it earlier today and thought it was awesome. Sparks flying off them wagon wheels was a sight . ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thank you! We were delighted to find this bird right next to a handy pull off where we often bird.

Thank you! 😊

That bit of shoreline is a popular bathing place for the local birds. There were several finches there and the rest of them left. Guess he was in a hurry to catch up. lol

I enjoy them as well. I list on eBird every day and almost every list has goldfinches on it. They are so cheerful!

Glad you enjoyed seeing them. We had a lot of fun at the show!

She is a very sweet little mare. We all like her. Thanks

She is a trouper for sure!

It is a rule at the fair that anyone under 18 wear a helmet when riding or leading. We don't have a problem with it really, as there are some ponies that kick mightily.

Good to know thank you

Thank you too!

Thanks, Cathy! He was so cute!

They skirmish here almost every day.

@@threecollie14 have a pair that come to the house, have been for a few years the rest call belfairs woods and golf course there home, had 3 or so golf balls taken by ravens 😂

That is pretty funny. I don't know what is up with the two that visit here. This spring they tried to go into our barns and silos in various spots, looking to nest I think. The local birds really went after them and they moved on. However, they come through every day or so.@@arsenalgunners6314

Yep. lol

It was quite a show! Re the silo ladder thing...we noticed one nest on a ladder, then another, and a third. We were surprised

LOl, multiple grouse are called grouse, just like deer are called deer even in groups.

@@threecollie14 omg good to know, thank you for clearing that up and thanks again for the video! :D

@@mayonnaiseeee Glad it was helpful. I am hoping to see him again this spring, although so far, no luck.

Thanks, Cathy!

I am hoping he comes back this summer, although I haven't seen him yet.

That is amazing! I was surprised at this little guy. He hung around for a couple of weeks then I didn't see him again.

Thanks

No RuPaul either!

The inventor of nylon was suicided right after his discovery because he did not want nylon to replace hemp.

No oil huh ? There are at least nine places on those buggies that need to be lubricated and that requires grease and oil .

Anything's possible. lol

Trust me, we were behind them, and they were racing. Happens all the time. lol

I drove a horse and buggy for 20 years and they may have been racing before but they sure as horse manure aren't racing now. And we usually wouldn't do it when there was cars around!!!

They were racing. I was there. We were laughing and so were they.

@@threecollie14 to bad you didn't catch it on video!

@@boomer1049 I actually was trying, but with the car moving and a none too clean windshield I didn't get it. Our local Amish know our car, and know we are careful around stock, so they always wave and are very friendly to us. We often stop and wait if we see a new horse is acting up, so as not to spook it, and they are aware of that. On Fridays and Saturdays they are often out warming up the "Sunday" horses and some of them are straight off the race track or have never been in traffic. Gets pretty western sometimes.
