The Critter Garden sure has come a long way in the last year.
I was looking at the 'before' and 'after' pictures the other day...it's amazing what Bill has done there...it's so beautiful. The wonderful thing about the Critter Garden is...it is right outside the sliding glass doors in the living room...what a view! And, what you don't see on the Critter Cam is the huge mountain in the background.
I will never see it in person again, since I'm not going back to Washington. But, it is so nice to be able to see it, and the other gardens, on the cam.
"Yes, it is beautiful there, no matter in what direction one looks! Well Cindy, look at the beautiful memories you will have! I know I do, and everyone else who has been fortunate enough to get to be there."

Bill, is the face out there on that bird house log the one I brought you that holds bird seed in it's mouth? Or did you have one there? That is the one that you brought me. Thank you again!  I don't put any seed in the mouth because the squirrels would mess with it...

I hope I don't get into trouble for posting too many pictures... Interesting concept, Bill! 'hm... just who is behind the man behind the curtain?! Or... do you report yourself to you?!  You surely get some fascinating birds out there, by the way. Merme
![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/merme.gif) We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

I'm ALWAYS getting into trouble... In addition to the birds that were caught on cam today, the Black Capped Chickadees, Northern Flicker, Oregon Juncos, Hummingbirds, Bandtail Pigeons, Steller's Jays, Mourning Doves and Brown Headed Cowbirds have all visited the Critter Garden but have somehow managed to avoid being photographed....

OK ... you sound like the Wizard of OZ sitting at a consol table of Kingdom information. Does it delete those things automatically or do YOU have to do it, yourself? guess I just don't look around much

Anyone is faster than me!!! Cowbird is a very strange name!! Do they sit on cows and eat bugs off them, or follow along behind them on the ground and eat seeds out of there dung, or do they just like cows, or, what?
