Video: Our Spring Garden

I decided to do something a little different for this week’s video. The focus is on our ornamental spring garden because it’s so wonderful watching it come back to life. I guess really long, tough winters increase our appreciation, right?

In this video, you’ll see flowering bulbs and perennials that are just getting ready to bloom. In addition, there are flowering trees and shrubs. Rather than narrate the whole video, I decided to just focus on the natural sounds of the birds in our spring garden. But don’t worry: there are captions throughout the video. I did that just in case you want to add something to your own garden.

You’ll hear song sparrows, quail, house finches, goldfinches, chickadees, cedar waxwings, along with many other birds. What’s more, you’ll hear a neighbor’s rooster from time to time!

Speaking of birds, you’ll get to meet Ned, our new black-capped chickadee friend. Nancy, the Mountain chickadee will put in a cameo appearance as well! Did you know that I have a special Birds in the Garden section on this website? Be sure to check it out if you’d like to learn more about our bird friends.

I hope you’ll enjoy this snapshot of our spring garden.
