Porte Ponderings:

Turn out your lights. Today we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. Lights confuse the night time fliers looking for landmarks. So turn them off and let the birds see where they’re going.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Mom. Gone too soon. Loved always ❤

According to AI:
Victory Day, which celebrates the surrender of Nazi Germany that ended World War II, is Russia’s most important secular holiday. While most Western countries celebrate the anniversary on May 8, Russia celebrates it on May 9.

The first weekend in May we were at the trailer. My favorite time of year. The hummingbirds and Orioles have returned. But, I quickly learned that the feeders need to be high enough so the raccoons don’t steal them 😉
