Notes - Sun, May 4, 2014

H
We brewed another one gallon batch of beer, using the Grapefruit beer recipe from the Brooklyn Brewshop beer book.

At 5:35 p.m., a Northern Mockingbird foraged under our backyard feeders.

The NOMO was a new bird for our yard, and the first NOMO that I have seen in the West Toledo area.

I've seen local NOMOs in north Toledo, downtown Toledo on the Marina District land, near south Toledo, by the Rossford United Methodist Church, and possibly somewhere else.

Our May 4, 2014 backyard NOMO seemed to forage on whole kernel corn that I had scattered under the feeders a while earlier. The bird then flew into the bushes behind the oak tree, located at the southwest corner of our backyard.
