Birds, Bees, And Bunnies

 

 I was gifted this amazing wooden see inside bird house.  I can hardly wait for the birds to find it!  Thanks a bunch, Bland's.

They are getting older but not blue yet..

This little house wren has been so busy cleaning out the nest.

Bluebird babies are showing a hint of blue.  I love how all their bums are in the middle of the nest.

This little house wren found the gourd!

This morning, I watched a bee take some straw into the tube and stuff it.  I am assuming that eggs have been laid, and she is blocking the hole until the eggs hatch and eat their way out.

I found this sweet little, very brave bunny in the strawberry patch.  She didn't scurry away but let me sweet-talk her and pet her for the longest time.  Very special.

Egg Count

 

Five bluebird eggs in the box.

Five house finch eggs in fern #2.

I am assuming that this is a house finch egg in fern #1.

Bird Alert

 

Gabe and I checked on the robin nest on the side of the house in the climbing hydrangea.  Needless to say, we got divebombed!

One of the babies got so excited that she flew out of the nest.  Momma was not happy.

Empty bluebird box.

Happy to see one egg!

Excited to see two at the end of the first day.

The next morning, there were three, and I was smiling from ear to ear.

Needless to say, I was doing back flips when I saw five eggs!  Now, the waiting game begins, and we are going to be gone for a week.

Well, will you look at that!

We Are On The Lookout

 

We are so ready!  And we are looking high and low for our wooly bears.  So if you see one let us know.

For your information.

Creature Watching

Woodpeckers around here are pretty sneaky.  They hide from the camera.

Squirrels will hide nuts just about anywhere.

Goldfinches should be in the Olympics.

I think he might want a little privacy.

Getting ready for takeoff.

Please let me out!

My very small garden helper.

Another one bites the dust.  Thanks, Ollie!

He approves of the new feeder.

Strangest hummingbird I have ever seen.

Our entertainment for about an hour.

I am so glad that the goldfinches showed up.

Mom, they are splashing me!

 This nasty little critter and all his friends have destroyed our cucumbers.

Friend or foe, I don't know.
