The elusive Brown Thrasher

For years I have tried to get a picture of a Brown Thrasher.  As soon as I would get close enough to get a picture, it would move farther away.  So I was surprised when one showed up in my backyard yesterday.  



I had to take this picture through my dirty kitchen window!


Sometimes I see mockingbirds in the back yard but I've never seen one eat at the suet cake until today.

Freddie's Eagle Scout Project

On April 17th, Freddie supervised the planting of four groves, with seven American Holly trees in each grove.  They planted them at two local Audubon Society sanctuaries.  They did a great job!


Some of the trees!


Planted and ready to grow!
