Usually Mr. and Mrs. Duck come together, and he is always very protective of her. Today she came alone. I brought out some seed and she immediately started eating like she knew she was safe. It felt a little different seeing her by herself… and I can’t help but hope Mr. Duck is okay. I’ll be wa

Breakfast is served! 🐦🌻 These two female house finches spent a couple of minutes enjoying the birdseed together. Did you know female house finches don't have the bright red coloring the males are known for? They're just as beautiful with their soft brown streaks. #BackyardBuddies

Two mourning doves at the feeding table just before sunset 🕊️🌿 One is doing a full spa treatment on the other… and the other looks a little unsure about it 😄 Then they both settle in and clean up as the light fades over the yard. Backyard life is never boring—there’s always a little story

Good morning from the backyard. 🐦❤️ The birds were busy at breakfast this morning. As they pecked through the feeder on the picnic table, seeds sprinkled down below for the birds waiting on the ground. 😄 I'm pretty sure they weren't doing it on purpose... but I like to imagine they we

🌮 Vegan family dinner tonight! 💚 My oldest son made homemade refried bean enchiladas, and because his little sister isn't a fan of tortillas, he made her tacos instead. 🥹🌮 They enjoyed beans, rice, and salad on the side, while I had a big salad with mine. 🥗 Simple, delicious, and made
