  2. I know! That corner was really good; mature junipers and some nice scrubby veg in the yard. The new place might take some time, but if we can count things seen FROM the yard... we're all set ;-) Our next door neighbor has quite the forest.

  3. We don't have Y-B Chat or Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

    Can y'all help us with that?

    Hope you are doing well.
