    I still have the honeysuckle blooming even though we have had a cold frost a few times. Here are my little sparrows..things are pretty quiet in the area unless the Coopers hawk swoops in.

    2ofus......yes we have a lot of sparrows... we also have chickadees, blue jays, nuthatches and goldfinches, housefinches, northern flicker, woodpeckers (3 kinds) and mourning doves right now...I haven't seen my cardinals for a long time. I hope the coopers hawk didn't get them...

    Just what I was thinking Frank when I saw the photograph. :-D
    Sparrows have been absent from my garden for a few years now .... that is until this year. We now have quire a few who visit on a regular basis.

    Thank you 2of us, Frank, waretrop,KK Ng, Sjoerd, Cayuga Morning, and eileen.

    Cayuga Morning, it is an actual pergola made to hang bird feeders. My husband built it for me when we first moved in to hang feeders from when we didn't have any trees on the lot. I will check for a picture to let you see the whole thing if I can find one right away.
