Life on the prairie

This is one miserably windy day.

Here the finches are facing into the wind holding on

for dear life. Every bird for him self.The wind blew all the feed onto the ground so the

finches are busy finding their meal. There are

about 50 of them in my yard this am.

It seems I am on heifer patrol as they think they

should go to the interstate. Anyway, some of them are just

lazing around. I am thinking they must feel safer on the

ground thinking this way they won't get blown away.

These girls are filling their bellies with water to keep

them grounded for the day. Notice the ducks

swimming in the pond.
