...Carry a box of Cheerios with you. ;)
The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
A few days ago I was wandering around the seaside parks in Titusville FL, and thought I’d bring a box of Cheerios with me to feed the birdies. Most people who feed wild birds in the park probably give them bread or popcorn or french fries or something else that is probably not good for them. Cheerios, I figure, are at least mostly healthy. Anyway, there are usually so many birdies gathered round that most of them don’t get anything anyway, and those who do, only get a little bit. I doubt people feeding the birds really has all that much effect, pro or con, on their diet. Whaddya think?
And now it’s your turn: who are you sharing your Cheerios with today? :)
