Water

The oak seedlings have been watered several times this week as the soil is really dry. There are new shoots forming at both seedling heads and each share a dead leaf.

The volunteer oak that did not get its roots established in a planter, has a brighter green leaf without as many leaf hairs as the oak that rooted in a planter.

Junco’s have been to the West side of my main viewing area, lately. And orange hummers are traveling through the green belt. I have seen two butterflies. One yellow and black, and one white and black with red at its wing tips. There are many white moths. Bees are enjoying the last drops of water in the birdbath. I’ve had to refill it twice in two weeks as it has all dried out in the heat. I’ve added rocks and branches to the bird bath as its bottom was rather slick and likely too deep for the birds.
