Busy, Busy!

Last year I had many Field Sparrows coming to my backyard and I can only assume that they had their nests nearby. Of course I can’t say the same for this year, when I had them only for a short while on the Spring.

These birds are small and pretty, resemble little toys with funny skinny legs. Clean cut birds with reddish feathers on head and upper body, some light gray round the neck, white thin bars on wings also have white breast and under-parts, has long reddish tail with notch at the end.

I think they are nice birds to have in your backyard, they love flying all over the backyard and make it look busy like Atlanta Airport! You got to love that!

Next are some photos of these cute birds! Enjoy!

Ranking High on Top 10 List

There’s a species of birds ranking high on the list of the top ten favorite birds and with many bird-loving fans. These birds are the Eastern Bluebirds. I’m sure that you’ve heard of them!

This year I’ve hardly seen them in my backyard for whatever reasons they haven’t showed up. I remember on previous years when I had them visit daily and also nesting locally. I guess they moved to other locations where I imagine they might be getting more appropriated food and shelter.

I welcome all birds in my backyard and try to accommodate them with food and some shelter but I can not control their instincts or habits.

Next, I bring you some photos of these beautiful birds.
