I just had 1 Chipping Sparrow, 2 American Robins, 6 White-crowned Sparrows, and 7 White-throated Sparrows at my pond at the same time, and it was the most incredible thing! ❤️

An American Robin rests on a log by the pond - one of the many little details that makes this space feel alive.
I cannot wait to finish up the edges in the coming days and add even more natural elements to make it truly feel like a wild and welcoming place for the wildlife that visit our yard.

Backyard Birding 2024–A Year in Review
Our yard was torn up & in transition all year but 46 bird species still visited - 14 of them lifers. Even a messy space can welcome so much life
Watch here: youtu.be/2nvAmwI1r2Y?...
Hope it inspires you to see what’s possible in your own little patch of land

This time last year, I saw the first migratory bird in my backyard - a Hermit Thrush!
Anticipating the birds to start coming through soon. My head is on a swivel, my Merlin app is running often, and my camera is ready 😂
Who is going to be the first this year?

Me: I am going to actually work on the pond today (I need to figure out where the water loss is coming from and fix a few things while I am at it)
Also me: Why did I choose mid-day to do this?! 🥵

I found a small pinecone on our patio this morning. There are no trees in my yard, or any neighbours yard that it could have been from. I'd like to think that maybe a bird dropped it off as a little gift.

Trying to figure out how to use Davinci Resolve is a bit of a challenge when you are so used to Premiere Pro 😅

There have been two Merlins flying around my block all afternoon. I can hear that they are so close to my house, but for the life of me I cannot see them, and it is driving me absolutely bonkers!
I just want to take some photos 😂

Sad to hear that after 25 years, Front Yards in Bloom has ended. But its spirit lives on in every pollinator bloom, shared seed & yard grown with care. Let’s keep growing, together. 🌸 Full reflection on the blog - link in bio.

I moved our patio bistro set indoors by the window overlooking the backyard. I've been sitting here for less than five minutes and definitely think that I need to get a cozy set of chairs and a cute table so I can sit here looking out into the pond all day. This is really nice!
