Thanks Cedar ... though a miserable gardener, I tend my backyard flock of winged companions. Not quite the same, but still ... The flowering beauty of Orioles is with us for a while yet. And then the sharp insistence of my Wren family being fed, fledging and leaving the backyard to silence again until net Spring. Missed my Grosbeaks this year, but maybe next year with better feed. Gardens are richer, I suspect, but I have birdsong and there's that!

Gardens don't have to be complicated or over-tended. Yours is about the beauty of birds, rather than flowers and foliage, is all.
Heh ... and fun. A couple of years back we had an Oriole who'd come up to the back slider and hop back and forth as if to say, "Where's dinner??"
