At one point, there were two on the feeder at the same time.

Red-Bellied Woodpecker
This woodpecker tried to eat at my squirrel-proof feeder, but it kept closing.

Hunting Mourning Doves

The Iowa House has voted to allow the hunting of mourning doves. I enjoy our mourning doves and are sad these birds that represent peace will be hunted. They are waiting for Governor Terry Branstad to pass it and set dates for the mourning dove hunting season.

Storm
It stormed last night. The weather is supposed to be cold the next few days. I covered my blueberry transplants. I wonder if I should bring in the birdfeeders if it is going to be wet.

Asthma at the Feed & Seed
Today, I went to the grain elevator to buy sunflower seeds for the birds. When I got there, they were loading corn or something that made me have an asthma attack. I sounded raspy when I was talking to the lady at the counter. I had left my inhaler in my van. After purchasing the seed, I quickly took 2 puffs. It reminded me of the time that we had to cut our excursion to Living History Farms short when Dot, Cay and I got sick from the corn dust.
Black-capped Chickadee
Black-Capped Chickadee on our Squirrel-Proof Feeder
I hung a squirrel-proof feeder with safflower seeds and some thistle seed. The feeder was visited by a chickadee this morning.
We have also seen and heard the beautiful songs of the cardinals. There are some migratory juncos that perch on the wood bordering the vegetable garden. The robins are enjoying the worms now that the snow has melted.
