It’s Blue jay season!! You may be seeing and hearing Blue jays around your neighborhood right now as they are very active at this time of year. It is a great time to set up a feeder for them and there are many choices including the newly designed peanut feeder that accommodates jays, woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees! I just hung mine out today so pictures coming soon of it in use! We are open all weekend including Thanksgiving Monday from 12-5! Happy Blue jay-ing!

Mookaite is a beautiful stone mined exclusively near Mooka Creek in Western Australia. They refer to it as the ‘stone of here and now’, a reminder to focus on the present and not to worry about the past or the future. They also believe Mookaite connects us to Mother Earth giving very calm, grounding vibes. These spectacular sea turtle carvings seem to emit that serene feeling! Come on by to see these beautiful pieces in person, they are truly amazing!

I still have about a dozen Mourning Doves visiting and they are eating a lot as they prepare for migration. I have been getting massive waves of Common grackles coming through that have been emptying my feeders in moments it seems. When they leave, everybody comes back and I refill the feeders. Hope you have a lovely peaceful weekend and enjoy your birds! Stop in to see us and don’t forget all in-stock puzzles are currently 40% off as we get ready to bring in new designs😊
