eorToday's bird of the day is the male Downy Woodpecker. He's a very ska bird, decked out in his two tone, with just a touch of red for style. He was enjoying the suet feeder along with the chickadees.
I managed to relocate somewhere between 6 and 12 frogs from the pool today. I lost count. Some seemed to take to relocation pretty quickly. Others just sat where I put them in the water feature under the trees. It's a pretty good spot for frogs with stagnant water and lots of leaves and water plants to hide in. I may have overpopulated the little hole, but I hope a few of them live. The pool isn't a good place for them to be because I got the pump going and started working on cleaning the leaves and algae out of it. I spent I'm not sure how many hours today scooping leaves out of the bottom or the pool or scrubbing the sides and bottom with the long handled brush.
I also got the last of the blackberries transplanted. By the time I was done with that task I was sick of it. I hope a few of them survive the process.
Also on the accomplishments for today, 3 more wheelbarrows full of sticks/brush transported to the burn piles, several medium sized limbs dragged to the burn pile, one of the compost bays shoveled out into one of the others (making room for new stuff).
