bird feeder

Kokubunji, 2020.10.18

This past week the landlord sent some gardeners, who aggressively cut back the cedars and made pollards out of the deciduous trees. I counted nearly thirty trees and bushes in our small yard, but now we can actually see the space and out into the small street and the nearby houses. One unexpected benefit of this is that small song birds and even some jay-like corvids have begun coming by. So last night, despite yet another full day of rain, I went out and got a bird feeder and some suet balls.

We'll see if the cuckoos take any interest.
