Bored with my birds???

LOL

We have 4 robin's eggs and 4 cardinal eggs. This is most likely the final count! We are going to have 8 baby birds in our front bushes here soon! Can't wait!

Eggs!

We now have 4 eggs in our Cardinal nest--and she is sitting on it! We should have baby birds in less than 2 weeks!! I'll post pictures when they hatch! I am so excited!

Birds, birds, birds!

We have an abundance of birds!

I have seen SO many different kinds of birds since we have lived here. In short form, we have seen:

--nuthatches (which are neat because they can hang upside-down on tree branches!--one of the few birds that can do that)
--Cardinals (which have a nest with two eggs in it, outside my front window)
--Robins (which have a nest outside my bedroom window!)
--Ladderback woodpecker
--red-winged blackbird
--Red-tailed hawk (who is just plain HUGE!)
--Titmouse
--chickadee
--towhee
--starlings
--sparrows
--goldfinches
--Bobwhites

And I am sure many others that I haven't written down yet! LOL

I can't wait to see our little eggs hatch! The eggs are so small...I am excited! As soon as I figure out where DH has the pictures of them, I will post the pics of the parents...And the eggs... She laid one the day before yesterday, and another yesterday...I wonder if we will have one more today??? I can't wait to find out!

She had a goal...

My daughter had a goal. A very large goal. One that she will need at least a couple more days to meet. But, she got a good start today!!






Yes, those are mostly dandelions that she found in our backyard today! LOL Some came from the front--but mostly the back! She left ones that she didn't like...which was not very many! LOL
