Cardinals

Five cardinals ... male, female and 3 young... have been coming to the feeder everyday for about a week. These pictures are the female feeding the young. I wonder why she has to feed them when they are big enough to do it themselves?? I couldn't get close enough to get a good picture.

Spring brings new birth

July 2 ... For a couple of days the young bluebirds have been peeping out of the house and chirping. I believe they are about to fledge. Hope I get to see it.

On July 4 while sitting on the deck having coffee at 6:15 am,

I was lucky enough to see this bluebird as he made his first flight into the "real world".

I discovered these cardinal eggs in a leyland cypress

when I saw the birds going into the trees. I have a row

of cypresses and it is a favorite place for nesting and

roosting for many birds. I just happend to look out the window and this young

robin was sitting on the porch. I took the picture through

the window.
