Be sure to keep nectar & fruit feeders cleaned & filled as Orioles & Hummingbirds continue to be very active around the garden! (And with this heat, change often and/or place in the shade) While you may see Orioles for just a little longer, Hummingbirds will be here to entertain for some time yet!
Happy National Dog Day ~ Celebrate whether you have a pooch or not, recognizing & remembering all the rescues/people who do so very much for our furry friends!!
If you've ever seen our awesome puzzle selection, you will know this is a great deal! Hurry before they're gone...as of yesterday (Wednesday, Aug. 22), 10 remain!

Thanks for continuing to keep nectar & fruit feeders filled...between the Orioles & Hummingbirds, the show is pretty amazing right now! If you need a replacement feeder or want one as a gift, we still have plenty in stock from which to choose!!

It's once again time for Pawlooza - London's Festival for Dogs! Pooches and their owners will be getting very excited about all the events offered at the beautiful Plunkett Estate here in London, Ontario!
There are many items that people think..."they won't have it there"! From straw or hay bales to lawn seed to shepherd hooks to gift items to food items to clothing items...you never know what you may find!!
Not so long ago, we connected with the wonderful folks at "The Whole Pig" from Dashwood, Ontario. They offer so many awesome pork products, we are delighted we can provide some to you. These include chops (including smoked), sausages, bacon, burgers. Let us tell you, we have tried them all and they are totally amazing! All are vacuum-packed & frozen in smaller portions...perfect for easy defrosting! Porkerettes for snacking are also available! Stop by soon to give these a try...you'll love the quality!
When one gets an opportunity to watch and capture a few photos of a beautiful Great Blue Heron....you go for it....even it means safely turning the car around and going back to the spot where you saw it...and hoping it is still there!
This makes it feel like early spring when we would be warning of little ones around the garden. However, this happened today! Following recent storms that included heavy rain & wind, we've had some leaves, branches, etc. to gather before cutting our lawn. While looking after this cleanup, an Eastern Cottontail nest was discovered...in the middle of our lawn!
Did you know that our Black Oil Sunflower is LOCALLY-GROWN? It is...and right now the fields are in full bloom! For this reason, we wanted to share a little info about the beautiful Oil Sunflower Seed along with sharing photos of the local sunflower fields!
What is Black Oil Sunflower Seed? Well, it happens to be the most-preferred seed of the many that you might offer in backyard feeders! It will attract a wider variety of beautiful feeder birds! If comparing it to Striped Sunflower, for example, one would find that it is meatier with it containing a higher oil content. This, in turn, provides more nutrition & calories with every bite the birds take...so very necessary during nesting season, cold weather, etc.! Black Oil Sunflower also has a thinner shell making it much easier for a larger variety of birds (especially smaller birds) to "crack".
Beautiful field of Black Oil Sunflowers!
Not only did the Cedar Waxwings recently fledge their nest, but other immature birds, such as the Eastern Bluebirds, American Robins and House Wrens, are also out and about just learning the ropes! Some of these might be a first brood while others could be a second or third!
At any rate, there are young birds everywhere this late in the summer...and everyone should be on the lookout for them when maintaining lawns & gardens! Thank you for looking after all creatures of the earth!

We knew the Cedar Waxwings had a nest in one of our trees and it seemed like they hadn't been there long enough for the nestlings to fledge. Yesterday, however, we were so very surprised to discover the newly-fledged young being fed on the ground around our garden!
Give me the food....I'm ready! Cedar Waxwings
So love watching all the critters around the garden including the bunnies...of every size! All the birds and animals need to take a moment to do some grooming, as was the case with this rather plump-looking Eastern Cottontail!
The birds are certainly so very entertaining...all year long! But, when a whole family shows up at the feeders at the same time, even more so!! We don't think we've EVER noticed so many Red-breasted Nuthatches around our feeders at the same time...Enjoy!
Adorable Red-breasted Nuthatches
Our Black Walnut Trees were so loaded with walnuts last fall, we had to constantly gather them up.
The bad thing....Walnut trees...everywhere!
You may have thought that most birds, & other species too, were finished with nesting season...this is not the case! While some birds nest early, welcoming one brood, so many others nest a little later on or nest early, then welcome more than one brood...often two or three! In the end, this is just a reminder to watch for immature animals of all kinds, taking care when you look after the work that needs to be done!

It's been quite the busy time around the feeders what with the arrival of many immature birds! The Downy Woodpeckers are no exception! We love their visits, their squeaky sounds, their jockeying for position on the peanut feeders....a definite joy to have around!!

It's the weekend...stop by for some amazing LOCAL honey, maple syrup, sparkling cider, pork chops, bacon, sausage, BBQ sauce, jams, jellies, relish, peanuts....a little something to "top off" your weekend meal plans!!
Wishing you & yours a very Happy Canada Day!!
Baby birds are some of the cutest creatures you might encounter and there are plenty around this time of the year! Just take a look at the Killdeer in this video...so amazing to think that they were eggs in a nest this past Sunday!! Enjoy a great Wednesday....very warm temperatures are on the way!
We're ready for Canada Day with flags, hats, shirts, maple syrup, maple candles, maple BBQ sauce, sparkling cider & so very much more!!
