Every August I head to a feed store to buy 250 pounds of “sunflower chips.” That is how much the birds in my backyard consume yearly.

There is a post on this site from August 2020 when I did the same thing. My store of choice is Davis Feeds in Caledon East.





MYSTERY PLANT
I will identify it at the end of the post.

En route to the feed store, I stopped at Ken Whillans Conservation Park which is frequented by fishermen (and women) and has a wonderful circular trail around the lakes.







Some botany






























Some birds




MYSTERY PLANT
We were told as children that if you like butter, the buttercup plant would reflect on your chin.

You are certainly generous with the birds that visit you! In return, they grace you with their presence, allowing you to hear, see and photograph them. Seems like a fair deal!
Very nice scenery, beautiful botany and birds. Thanks, Miles!
just a beautiful entry – always look forward to this. Thx. Miles.
