Last year I taught my Garden Medley workshop in Gold Beach, Oregon. Helen McCrary took the panels from the project and laid them out in a very interesting and unique way. She was trying to keep her project to a size to hang on the door. I think she succeeded in a great way. Thank you for sharing Helen.

I usually give an update of the birds in our yard each summer. So here goes. The vultures had a baby.
That is one big baby. I kind of think they are cute. Some of you have told me from last years pictures “It’s the face only a mother could love!”
Mother and baby hanging out.
And yes, the mother has taught the youngster to get into the birdbath.
Sometimes they drink and bath together! And after they are done the birdbath does need to be cleaned. They are rather messy.
From the biggest bird in the yard to the smallest bird in the yard.
Our best photos are of the female. She sits to drink. The male never sits. He stays in motion the entire time he drinks so it’s hard to get a good photo of him.
And finally we have Mr. Woodpecker. He’s snacking on some suet.
And that’s the birds in the yard report for this summer.
