A Few...

Today's Greeting

Baby Album

This is my favorite hummingbird feeder - all the birds love to use it as a perch.

Just looking beautiful!

Mama is still looking pretty good...the new nestlings will be fledging in a few days.


This cherry tree is right next to the tree with the catbirds' nest...makes it convenient.



I don't know where the red-bellies nested - the starlings took over the cavity they madein the fall...


Speaking of the starlings - I thought the babies were about to fledge earlier in the week, but this was the scene today.

It's just Bluebird overdose on here at the moment but then I'm not sure I could leave them alone for very long either. Lovely stuff!

Lin - Thanks. Best of luck with all your week-end doings.

Barb - lol...I never fail to think of your when I see starlings (guess that would be insulting in anothr context..lol)

bluebirder - I actually gave the bluebirds a day off-camera a few days ago, but it doesn't happen often! Thanks for visiting.

Gorgeous images as always - but there's something you have, that you don't even know you do!
I believe the woodpecker you showed us is not a Redbelly. I think it's the much more rare Golden-fronted Woodpecker!
And that would be the 1st I've ever seen, other than in books.
Cheers, Klaus

Klaus - that would be super cool....but I dunno - I don't see any yellow, she hangs out with a male RB, and - I'm in VA.
