Bird Food

While out bicycling last weekend I encountered this very healthy Kewaunee County field of sunflowers.  And it wasn't the only one.  There were many more - on both sides of the highway.

Northeast Wisconsin hasn't been nearly as impacted by the drought that has punished farmers almost everywhere else this growing season.  The corn is tall and looking fine and apparently there will be a bumper crop of oil sunflower seed as well.

That's going to be a boat-load of bird seed once it's harvested...
