  1. Several things I learned since buying a house with a holly tree in the backyard:

    -They grow large enough to become genuine trees.

    -The leaves are smooth, it isn't until they're damaged that the leaves grow back in the traditional spiky form as a defensive measure.

    -They blossom in spring, they smell absolutely fucking amazing and bees can't get enough of them.

    -They spread like wildfire. 😅

  2. The humble house sparrow is still one of my favourite birds. This family either moved in recently, or they didn't like the food I put up all winter, because it would sit there until it got moldy. Now I have to refill the feeders every day (There's also jackdaws raiding them, lol)

  3. There's so much *life* in my backyard this Spring. I love seeing so many birds. I've heard an owl hooting for the past two nights and I hope it'll hang around. I saw a Great Blue Heron fly over yesterday. Also spotted a single Black Vulture soaring overhead recently in addition to the Turkey Vultures that visited the yard yesterday. Baby birds galore too: Bluebirds, Crows, Brown Thrashers, Blue Jays, Nuthatches, Mockingbirds, etc...

    Also, there's at least two tiny baby bunnies. 🐇

  4. It went quite slow at first, but the last few days the #birds ate half of the food 😱.

    It's #nice 🥰. So many little birds in the backyard. Mainly #housesparrows and #greattits (we're talking birds people...). They especially like being on the inside, where they can quickly hide in the tree. The house sparrows are very careful, not letting themselves be photographed easily. But the great tits are a bit more daring.

  7. Backyard Chicken Laws in New Hampshire: What Every Keeper Needs to Know

    New Hampshire's "Live Free or Die" spirit extends surprisingly well to backyard chicken keeping — but that freedom comes with a catch. State law does not address keeping poultry for personal use, which leaves policy on the issue in the hands of New Hampshire's cities and towns. That means the rules governing your flock depend almost entirely on your ZIP code, your zoning district, and sometimes even your subdivision's governing documents. Whether you live in a dense urban neighborhood in […]
