A Special Day & EDiM

Yesterday was sunny and very warm so I 

decided to work in the garden. I have many 

birdhouses about the property. They are 

usually filled to capacity and you sure 

know when the babies are born.

Peep, peep, peep and momma and dad

flying in with food every few minutes.

I am always sad when the babies take

 flight and everything is quiet. Sad 

because I never see the little ones leave.

That is until yesterday. Mom was rushing

food to them and there was one who

 kept peeking out. You could see his big mouth

and little feathered head.

Mom at the feeder.

Mom flew to the feeder and all of a

sudden here came baby right behind.

Little wings flapping so hard, landing

at the feeder. He never stopped flapping

those wings and was very wobbly . Cute 

as a button. Then he flew into a bush

 with mom following, probably giving

flight lessons. It made my day.

Then to my surprise the grosbeaks 

showed up. I call them the parrots

of my forest

They are very colorful and always fun to watch.

 This bird house I built and put up almost 19

years ago. Every time I want to take it down for

maintenance it is occupied. So there it sits 

with moss and lichen growing on it.

I wonder if I will see more babies take flight

today.

May 27th. Draw some clouds & write

about it.

Happy Sunday everyone.
