A Good Day for House Hunting

Just as I promised I was patient and got a few shots of a female Eastern Bluebird on top of the birdhouse. She was kind of testing and checking every detail. I didn’t see the male anywhere.

I was a nice day for birds, of course you’ll see the photos soon, but I kept other for future posts.

I hope that you are enjoying the display of my work.

New Bird House being Checked

Remember the new bird house for Bluebirds I installed last week?

Cedar wood house for Bluebirds

I was getting a cup of coffee from the kitchen when I saw trough the window a couple of bluebird checking out the house for just a few seconds, first the male and then the female. I run to get my camera but they had flown away. I’m sure that they’ll be back and I will be ready to shoot some pictures for you.

After that I saw just the “usual suspects”, which will be my gallery for today.

Carolina Chickadee

The Carolina Chickadee couple that occupied the main bird house are doing fine in their home. I haven’t seen any invasions to their nest by any other species so far. Not that this little bird couldn’t handle it if that happen! Such a small bird what lacks in size it has on huzpah, fights like an eagle when it comes to protecting their nest. Chickadees are difficult to photograph because they don’t stay longer than a couple of seconds in one place.

I like them a lot!

Nicer Weather Now

With a nicer weather we’re enjoying is amazing the rapid growth of plants and trees. The landscape is turning all green since the grass and shrubs are also green. But the color monotony will be broken by all the gamut of brilliant colors that flowers will bring! Soon we’ll be seeing more butterflies, hummingbirds and bees, giving a hand to the natural cycle by pollinating from flower to flower. I have some more photos for you today:
