Brewing Beer

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

NOMO

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.

Church

We attended the 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening service at University Church, located along Hill Ave.

Evening Yard Bird Sightings

My notes from my Field Notes notebook of backyard bird sightings

• 7:47 p.m. - 5 WTSP on backyard.
• 7:49 p.m. - 7 WTSP on backyard.
• 7:55 p.m. - HETH foraged on the ground under the feeders. The area around the feeders to the east side of the middle oval bad to the garden seemed to be the HETH's favorite feeding area for the past few days. I think this was day three or four for the HETH to be in our backyard.
• 8:01 p.m. - HETH flew to the west spirea bushes.
