Earlier in the summer we had a family of Pileated woodpeckers nesting in this cavity! That was pretty cool.
The flickers have moved in and are hungry as can be!

You’ll love watching the hummingbird birds at Piney Woods! They arrive in early May and stick around through mid-September. The males arrive first to establish territories, then a week or so later we see the first females.
Late July is very busy when the young ones fledge their nests and show up at the feeders!
Read on for some great tips & fun facts from @cornellbirds:
BACKYARD TIPS:
You can attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to your backyard by setting up hummingbird feeders or by planting tubular flowers.
Make sugar water mixtures with about one-quarter cup of sugar per cup of water. Food coloring is unnecessary; table sugar is the best choice. Change the water before it grows cloudy or discolored.
COOL FACTS:
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings about 53 times a second.
The extremely short legs of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird prevent it from walking or hopping. The best it can do is shuffle along a perch. Nevertheless, it scratches its head and neck by raising its foot up and over its wing.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange flowers (though it’s not necessary to color the sugar water you put in a hummingbird feeder). Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, which humans can’t see.
Come for a visit and watch them at the dining room windows!

Spotted a lone black bear on the road! It’s always fun to see them… from a distance!
Read on for a few fun facts from@minnesotadnr:
BLACK BEAR
Ursus americanus
“The black bear is the only species of bear in the state. They are generally restricted to forested areas. They follow their noses, and use their mental maps of the landscape to locate food sources, which are in a constant state of flux, from season to season and year to year. Black bears usually try to avoid people, but sometimes come in conflict with humans when they eat crops, destroy apiaries, or break into garbage cans and birdfeeders.
Weight: Adults vary in weight from 150 (small female) to 500 (large male) pounds.
Sounds: Bears make huffing, snorting, and jaw-popping sounds when nervous or distressed, trying to repel intruders; cubs make humming sounds when nursing (an indication of being satisfied), and squealing when frightened or uncomfortable”.
____
We see such a variety of wildlife on the roadsides and on the trails around Piney Woods. Deer, fox, pine martens, wolf tracks, tons of birds and an occasional black bear.
We feed the hummingbirds from May-September, and the winter birds from late October-early April. We’re careful to pull the winter feeders while the bears are active!

Yesterday we had mallards and trumpeter swans to greet the day with us. Today this little mink popped out of it’s hiding spot and frolicked along the edge of the receding ice.
Did you know… the Trumpeter swan population has made an amazing comeback in recent years. It’s been really cool to see more of them every year! They gather in the open streams in the early spring, and feed there until the lakes open up for nesting. This flock was over the North Arm of Burntside Lake today!

There are so many reasons to get outside.
Even on a rainy, foggy day or in the middle
of a snowstorm!
It makes inside time by the fire
so much sweeter!
