I hear the goldfinch as this is their nesting month

Saturday, July 26th

I see what you see in the photos. I added many from around the yard tonight to get a feel for all the activity and life going on around here

I hear: the constant scolding of the adult house wrens because I am too close to their nest

I feel: mosquitoes taking big bites out of me and wet vegetation because we just had a big rainfall about 1 hour ago.
