Thought you should know that your newsletters in my email box are one of only a few messages I always open. Reading your posts both inform and inspire. Viewing each of your intimate photos of the birds of our borderlands and beyond is like a jewel in the hand. Thank you for enriching my days.
We had two Yellow Warblers at the pond last week but only Lucy's are still reliable daily. I'm hoping for a good warbler season to start since I missed most of May this year. Lots of Vermilion offspring at the pond in the morning and every evening around 7:30 we sit on the back patio and wait for the Great Horned Owl to fly out of its roost tree. Rattlers are very few this year (no complaints). Oh, the 100°+ days have finally killed the only surviving chokecherry despite TLC.
So sorry about your chokecherry--I love ours! I've scoped out a few young ones for transplanting to the new property. I'll let you know if it's successful and save one back for you!

I miss you Val! Thanks so much for your kind words--I'm inspired by them!
Thanks, Ken, but I just don't think one would survive here. Wow about your property extension! You will rival Beatty's soon!
