Posted this many years ago,when we were allowed very much smaller images.To make it different for those,who remember,we have flipped this image to now face to the left.Hope new visitors will enjoy and older one won't mind!Doing this as it is very hot here and birds not showing much!Note:had about a dozen pairs on our property,when we lived up there!
