I have purchased fish fertilizer before and totally gagged when opening the jug. it can smell unbelievably horrid. I do not know this little bird, but he sure is a cutie pie. <br />Have a lovely week. <br />Connie :)<br />P.S. I love your wheel fence in front of your corn patch, that is so creatively farmhouse and full of charm.<br />Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-60704722899592041342018-08-27T12:57:18.472-06:002018-08-27T12:57:18.472-06:00I am so glad that you didn’t photographs the fish ...I am so glad that you didn’t photographs the fish fertiliser we’ll stick to dried fish, blood and bone fertiliser.

Look at your sweet corn (behind that awesome wheel fence!) Look like you'll have a great harvest. Do the raccoons leave it alone? I think we've had just about every varmint in the yard this year, and raccoons especially are numerous. I don't know what the bird is, so I'm no help, but what a beauty!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-85163242291315709492018-08-27T11:00:55.857-06:002018-08-27T11:00:55.857-06:00Don't have field guide close. will look back t...Don't have field guide close. will look back to see. I thought Junco, sometimes birds leave their areas though. want to scratch a design on that pumpkin, didn't put any in this year.

Hopefully it does the trick! That little bird is so cute! I was going to say pretty, but it's such a little thing, hiding among the leaves that I think cute fits it much better. I hope someone can identify it for you!Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973714830730420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-31208092710264072412018-08-27T09:49:59.765-06:002018-08-27T09:49:59.765-06:00Could the bird be a female Amerian Redstart?

Let us know if you figure it out.

That is kind of comical how the fish were eaten....I wonder how the native Americans did it way back as we were always taught in grade school that is how they fertilized. We have problems with deer also. I spray Liquid Fence (and you mentioned you spray) but like you said, if it rains you have to constantly spray. I notice our deer seem especially hungry this year; I hope it doesn't mean we will have a bad winter! Could the bird be a western Kingbird? (or is it too small for that?) Beautiful gardening!
