Tim Rescues Hairy!






Yesterday we had this hairy woodpecker hit our window at the store.  Tim went out and nursed him back to health.

Still Feathering (or Furring) the Nest


For the last few days I haven't seen any signs of the chickadees at the house they had worked so hard on.  I was thinking they had abandoned the project or something tragic had happened to the eggs or babies.  Well, today I finally see them adding a bit more dog fur to the nest.  Interesting!  I was expecting baby chickadees by now!  (As always, click on the picture to see a larger image.)

Sherri's Baby Bluebirds



The Bluebirds are busy feeding their little ones.  It takes both Mom and Dad to feed all five babies.

Lynda's Squirrels

Doesn't he look like he's hanging out a window talking to a neighbor?  LOL!  MOVE DOWN....

And now they look like they're talking about ME!  HAHAHA!!!

See why I don't trash that old chewed up birdhouse?  The squirrels like it too much.  : )

Shake Your Tail Feather!


Frostie is a far cry from a "wild bird" but enjoy the video anyway!

Dog Next Door to the Rescue


If I'm not mistaken, the furball in the chickadee's mouth is from the husky next door.  Resourceful little guys, aren't they.  In my reading about my new feathered neighbors, I learned that both chickadees build the nest, both incubate the eggs, and both feed the babies.  Chickadees are my kind of birds.  Contrast this to the hummingbird - where the female builds the nest, incubates the eggs, and feeds the young.  Poor girl!

It's Official...





The new bird house I bought has been chosen by chickadees for my first babies of the Spring. Stay tuned for more pictures. The shot with the nandinas in the entrance was yesterday when they were finalizing their choice. This morning I cleared the entrance and they began moving right in. How exciting!  (As always, click pictures to see larger images.)

Sherri's Titmouse


HI

The titmouse is fun to watch.  When he chooses a small seed he will hold it in his feet and eat it.  When he chooses a large nut he flies off to eat it, or maybe share, I don't really know what he does with it.  I have not really seen that yet.

Singing Wren


This little wren was singing at the top of his lungs this morning.  I just could not resist taking a picture of him.  Sherri
