Cooking with Mumzy!
Hello everyone, I hope this week finds you in good health and happy spirits. Things are going well with all of us on the Homefront. The only complaint I have is there is never enough time to do everything I enjoy, but as I have always said; it doesn’t do any good to complain just take one day at a time and enjoy it all. As Always remember the Little Things in Life!

Sometimes, to be a successful fisherman you have to become a diligent hunter. A friend and I did just that a few days ago, going up a swollen and muddy Sac River, looking for some tributaries where white bass and walleye might have moved into warming, clearer water. We found one, which had no walleye or white bass, but it was a beautiful spot with the clearer, deep water we were looking for.

This week we discuss cautions on summer feeding. While a greater variety of foods will attract more birds, backyard birders should take care not to offer less nutritious options during the summer when baby birds need the best food for healthy growth. Kitchen scraps, for example, are not suitable to feed birds during the summer. While small quantities of bread, cooked rice, and other scraps won’t harm adult birds when offered as very rare treats, these foods offer no nutrition for nestlings and other young birds. Avoid offering this “bird junk food” during the months when young birds need a healthy diet to grow into strong, mature adults.

Hummingbirds are one of the most popular birds in Arkansas and have captivated people’s interest and attention for a long time. But because hummingbirds are incredibly fast and small, these birds can be hard to distinguish from each other. Most of the time, they just look like little green, iridescent blurs streaking by your face.

Years ago, I spoke to the Audubon Society Chapter at Pittsburg Kansas, and enjoyed getting to spend some time with folks who truly love all aspects of nature, especially birds. I think my talk went over really well except for my woodpecker recipes. On a more serious side, I myself have had a great fascination with birds since I was very small. I wanted to grow up and be a waterfowl biologist when I was only eleven years old, and floated the Big Piney River in the fall, sneaking up on wood ducks and hooded mergansers and mallards and teal and other birds.
