As many of you have noted, one of the wonderful things about working at the garden is hearing all the birds in the woods around us, and especially those times when all of a sudden, all work in the garden stops as we admire some particularly amazing avian sight, like an osprey stealing straw from the garden right in front of our eyes! Thanks to George and Gwen, who sent the list of birds below from their walk near the garden last week!
