One of our regular birdseed customers reached his 9th bag this past weekend and therefore took home his 10th bag free! Who's next?! We're open tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am-4pm.

Public service announcement! Things are beginning to bloom in area road ditches. Did you know that these are two VERY different plant species? The first, is Golden Alexanders; a harmless native perennial that hosts Swallowtail Caterpillars. The second, is Wild Parsnip (which also hosts Swallowtail Caterpillars), but is considered an invasive noxious w**d. Wild Parsnip will leave chemical burns (activated by sunlight) on exposed skin that comes in contact with oils from the plant. Golden Alexanders is in full bloom right now! Wild Parsnips are just beginning to elongate and a few of the earliest are beginning to develop florets.

We were finally able to snap a photo of the beautiful Indigo Bunting that's been visiting the feeding setup that we created at Niagara Cave! Thanks for sharing this photo Jenny! Hoping your visitors to the Cave this weekend enjoy the multitude of colorful birds you've begun to attract!

Seed & Stone is open today from 10am-4pm. We'd love to have you stop in!

Yesterday we noted the first calls of the Dickcissel out in the prairie. They have become regulars here each season. Here's an example of their call; though ours have a slight variation of this call.

This video portrait is constructed from clips gathered in early May...

The Bobolinks returned to our farm last week. We look forward to their arrival each year. Their call is very distinctive; we liken it to R2-D2. It's tough to snap a photo of them because they tend to keep their distance out in the alfalfa and prairie. I've attached an example of their call, for your enjoyment.

Why yes, we do have squirrel baffles and deck-mounted birdbaths. We’re open today until 4pm.

The shop is open! I'll be here today until 4pm. We received a restock of our Birds Choice recycled plastic feeders yesterday so we've got a great selection of feeder types and colors to choose from!

Just a heads up: Seed & Stone will be opening late again tomorrow (Friday, May 15th), because I'm needed for another school group tour at Niagara Cave in the morning. I expect to have the shop open by noon. See you then!
