A Kaleidoscope of Colors
Dear Friend of Nature,
Just watch your feeders for an hour or so with your morning coffee or tea...the colors are amazing. You might be treated to a Fox or White-throated sparrow, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, Eastern Phoebe, Magnolia Warbler, Eastern Towhee or the newly arriving House Wrens. American Goldfinch males have already changed to their summer color, and Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds and Grackles have already arrived. As always we are still blessed with Cardinals, Woodpeckers of all sizes and colors, Bluebirds and an early sighting of Orioles and Hummingbirds.
This time of year is a perfect complement to Mother’s Day and springtime nesting. Remember to pick up your nesting materials and our May special Bird Food that is high in calcium for nesting moms to produce strong egg shells.
We have so many ideas for Mother’s Day gifts for your special person. The coupon below will make them feel even more special. Visit us today for Mother’s Day gift specials or gift cards.
See you soon and happy birding!

Hummingbirds and Orioles Are Back!
Ruby-throated hummingbird and Baltimore orioles have both been seen in the area, so get those feeders out now!
What are their favorite foods?
- Hummingbirds love nectar feeders. Dissolve ¼ cup of table sugar in 1 cup of warm or hot water; cool and fill the feeder. No food coloring, please! Be patient and keep the foods fresh, replacing them every few days and be sure to keep your feeders clean, too.
- Orioles can be attracted to the same nectar mix in special nectar feeders designed for orioles. They also enjoy orange slices and grape jelly offered in dedicated oriole feeders that can hold a whole oriole buffet. Mealworms are on the menu as well!
