Memory Lane

Georgia Has the Blues

The cedar wood birdhouse designed for Bluebirds that I had cleaned from last year old occupants have just been occupied by a cute couple of Eastern Bluebirds. The new tenants had been appraising the location for a few days. It seems like they liked it and now I see them going in and out more often, they’ll most likely build their love nest there. I’m glad for their decision to be residents in my backyard, I just wish them a warm welcome.

And thus my bird community grows gradually, more birds will be considered as my photo subjects and life will continue for all of us.

The birds really make my life more complete and I enjoy every minute of it! I hope you understand what I’m trying to express.

We are having sunny bright days warm, mid 70’s F. So we are enjoying that happily and soaking in the sun. I’ve see many dogwood trees in full bloom already, my trees are starting to show green shoots and in no time everything will turn green.

“Sounds very encouraging! Hurrah for Spring!”

What’s Next?… Spring!

Spring is starting to show its face, our weather has improved tremendously and daily temperatures are rising slowly but steadily. I’ve seen birds in my backyard that are more likely back from migration such as:

  • Red-winged Blackbirds
  • Brown-headed Cowbirds
  • Common Grackles
  • Eastern Bluebirds
  • American Goldfinches

I can’t wait to see all the birds back and the flowers to show their colors and in general all plants and trees to be green with new leaves. These things will happen very soon!
