A love birdy home...



See her head at the top?

Her beaks open here...she's hot!
I noticed a pair of Robins building a nest in our backyard Maple Tree. I was hoping they wouldn't really go all the way, but they did! Their original nest was in the Bradford out front but it got blown away. This nest is really neat to look at. I even caught some pictures with the female in it. The dogs don't seem to bother the birds at all. They are all over the yard during the day. I just hope the babies will be ok when the time comes for that. For now, I'll watch over them and do the best I can. And, in any case, Mom and I have raised baby birds before. Of course, they were always Starlings...and PaPa wasn't very crazy about those birds. We had Harvey (our first one) he was in my closet one day and we raised and released him. He would land on neighbors at first...kinda freaky...but eventually went off into the wild. Then there was Sweet Pea and Regis and KathyLee...they were kind of cranky. I hope I won't do any bird raising here...but if the need arises...I'm all feathers I guess! Enjoy the pics! Have I said lately I LOVE my camera???
