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.

HETH - May 2-5
Updated info about the late-migrating Hermit Thrush that I first saw in our backyard on Fri, May 2, 2014. The area around the feeders to the east side of the middle oval bed to the garden area seemed to be the HETH's favorite feeding area for the past few days. My last sighting for this bird in our yard occurred on Mon, May 5, 2014, so it hung around for at least four days.
