Bird scaping the Garden

Last year, I cut down several cherry laurel trees. I felt like my garden was getting overrun.

Seems like the wrong thing to do now.

So cute!

3 cedar waxwings in the cherry laurel.

4 waxwings and robin

 I'm moving some seedlings to the fence line. I don't know if they'll do well there; other trees I've moved to the perimeter have died. Still seems like a good spot if I can discover plants that will tolerate the conditions.

I have several hollies that I keep eyes on, but the birds haven't yet decided the berries are ready.

 

More Winter Cold

It's the kind of weather to stay inside with a nice wood fire....

And a mouse...

I am starting to see some colour again...

While these hellebore are exotic, anything that blooms in the winter is desirable...

And Mahonia... An early yellow...

Finally... a coupla bird pics...

Mocking bird... 

 I can't get those clear feeder shots... I prefer to grow their faves and create conditions they will like.

Gotta look close... Eastern towhee in the brush... their preferred habitat...
