Ummm, Mom, can I get my own room?!?!You may remember from one of my previous posts that there was some question as to whether or not a Baltimore Oriole had taken up residence on our property. Today we found the answer.
Isn't amazing how they are able to make their nest hang?!? Good thing we didn't cut down this poplar like we had planned this spring. But it really isn't in a spot where it can grow forever...As I was typing this post I thought I'd go and take a quick snap of our robin's nest. I hadn't witnessed any feeding times lately, but still frequently saw the robin flying out of the nest as I approached. Well, guess what I found...
No rest for Mamma Robin!!!And! As we were sitting on the front deck enjoying a tea, I noticed two sparrows approaching a bush in front of me, with worms in their mouths. Devin was pacing, and every time he got close to the bush they would fly away. As he walked away, they would cautiously approach, but never enter the bush. Finally, I asked him to sit for a bit, and sure enough, they quickly dashed into the bush and left, "sans worms." Shannon and I took a quick peak and discovered yet more hungry mouths.
So fun!
And for those of you who also use blogger...do all your pictures land at the top of your post when you upload them, and then you tediously have to drag them to where you want them? or am I doing something wrong?

Hey! So exciting to see signs of summer!! Now if only the weather would warm up a bit.
About the pictures....mine do the same thing, it's a pain!
Those are amazing bird pictures!!!! Those baby birds are so cool. So, do you know what KIND of sparrows they were?
Wow! What a lot of neat nests to keep an eye (or camera) on! Guess I should do some exploring too...although we did see some newborn mice yesterday...in our neighbours lawn tractor!
and my pics do the same on blogger. Guess we'd all better send a message to get that changed!
