Pretty photo, Dale. Here there are still sunflowers in some fields in W. TX that have yet to have the seeds make due to all the rains & cooler than normal weather this summer. Birds have been scattered with the result being spotty shooting in a lot of places. I don't think there is any lack of birds. A cool front with more rain hit Sunday night/Monday morn moving a lot of birds into W. TX from what I'm being told. Leaving in the morning to go find out. Will be in the Wichita breaks for the weekend. Hope your weekend is a good one.

Thanks for the photograph of the sunflowers, ours aren't that big, even if it is Texas;-) The native sunflowers that the dove like best here are perhaps two feet high and have heads roughly the size of a fifty cent piece. Plenty of croton [dove weed] this year, but also late in making.
