All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

Funnily enough, this morning I saw one of the pigeons that hang about in our garden collecting dried sweetpea stems (the only ones I haven't cleared away yet) and flying off with them. Nesting - in January?

Spring seems to have sprung
But winter door decor is still hung
And the koi pond has no ice
Because the weather is so damn nice!

Hello group! Just Denise from the USA popping in again to wish you all a
happy new year. May your gardens look GREAT in 2007!!

BTW, the temps have been in the 50's here!! I am upstate New York and we
should have snow (NONE!) and 20-30 degrees. I planted about 200 spring
bulbs this past fall and wondering how they are doing with this strange
weather. Global warming???

ISTR last winter nesting started in December.

There's certainly a lot of moss gathering going on round here.

Pigeons and Ring Doves will nest and breed all year.

Saw blackbirds and sparrows doing their mating rituals this week. What will
happen is they all start to lay eggs already ?

Well, either they'll be lucky and it'll be a warm spring, with insects
around, or they won't ;-)

But most birds try at least twice in a season.
