Robin Chicks!

Outdoors No Comments »

This spring we had 3 nests on corners of the house and 1 in a tree at eye level 10 feet from our back deck. I watched patiently day after day but I either all together missed the little babies or the nests were situated so the contents weren’t visible. Many afternoons were spent watching the mommas who were always in plain site care for babies.
This nest was right outside one of the doors leading to the deck. This time I got to see the chicks awaiting mothers arrival with dinner. How about that fellow on the  far right with the little tuft on the top of his head?

Hummingbird Feeder

We get quite a few visitors at our hummingbird feeder on the deck and have some pictures to share. This feeder is hanging on a post on the corner of the deck close to the Japanese Maple and some taller pines where the hummingbirds like to gather.
