More Cedar Waxwings!

It has been over a year since I saw the flock of cedar waxwings, and now this week I've seen them twice! There must be a pair nesting nearby because there were two in the same maple tree as last year, and yesterday this guy (looking behind)...

In the Neighbor's Maple Tree

No longer with their flock of friends,
Wild and soaring free

Cowbirds at it again!

Just like last year, the cowbirds are after the robins again.

Happy Father's Day!

Birdie Shower

A mourning dove showered in our sprinkler today. He nestled into the grass and lifted his wings one at a time to get those underarms!

A Chickadee's Nest

This, from our correspondant Diane. A family of chickadees took up residence in a small hole in the foundation of Diane's house. They discovered this on Mother's Day as a busy little mommy chickadee fed her babies while dogs and humans looked on. What a strange little place for a nest.
