Spring here in Rickreall is wild with birds. We spend many mornings and evenings just marveling at the birds that come to visit us here. We have had literally hundreds of red wing blackbirds all winter. The Western Meadowlark serenades us in the morning. The Rufous hummingbird, Anna hummingbird and the black-chinned hummer are all here fighting over the feeders and doing acrobatics. Evenings on the porch are quite entertaining as we watch dozens of them competing for food and flowers. The yellow headed blackbirds have been quite entertaining with their strange prehistoric cracking koo-koo calls and they are so beautiful! We have clouds of brilliant American goldfinches and today we saw the first black headed gross beak and Western Tanager of the season. Rufous sided Towhees, fat robins, rose finches and white crowned sparrows are all abundant here too.

We also have our flock of 26 very productive egg layers and 20 new baby chicks. We are surrounded by our feathered friends and the days are filled with the songs of all these birds as we work outside with the plants and make our skin care products in the yurt.

Each product is literally infused with bird songs…hence the name of our farm.
