Spring arrived in my backyard

Some blackbirds thought a feeder house about ten feet from our house was the perfect spot to nest... :thinking:
It will be fun when the eggs hatch, I have a perfect view from my window.

Neat picture, Bart! Thanks.

I spotted this lonely daffodil at the edge of the woods today. It seems to have it's arms outstretched, saying "Here I am!"

Darn squatters. Now you'll need an attorney to evict them.

Isn't Mother Nature wonderfull,great pictures!Now what type of porch lights are you going to install for your new "residents"?:thinking:

Oh boy, that will be fun.
We had the pleasure of watching a pair of jenny wrens raise a family in a hanging basket on our front porch. They were so trusting of us as we walked within inches every time we went anywhere.

I'll have to see if I can find a pic or 2.

More pics plz.. :wave:

When/if the eggs hatch I'll try to make some more pics, right now I don't want to disturb her too much.We can walk by, but if we stop and watch mom gets a bit nervous.

I'm not sure yet what kind of porchlight they want, I might have to take them shopping with me..

Hmm, runtime might be a bit short.... I have a yellow infinity, I think that would work better.
I would have to teach them to turn it on though... :thinking:

Winter came back with a vengeance up here. Got about 19 inches of snow on the weekend.

Yikes! Sunny and about 18C here, nice spring weather.

Yeah central canada got a nasty cold front. Eastern was spared thou, over 20, and over 30 under the sun. It was pretty funny to see people running around in t-shirt and shorts, while there are mountain of snow still piled in parking lots.

I took a quick shot of the nest when mom was away.
She now has 4 eggs.

Well I hoped to learn dad, but it seems he has been banned from the nest for now, I haven't seen him for a few days now... :shrug:

Speaking of squatters, check out who I found in my backyard this afternoon.

Ps. There are two of them in that photo

Killer wabbits!!!


They're cute... The second one is pretty well hidden, if I didn't spot his eye I would have missed him.

 

[Black Rose]

Talk about being well hidden.

Almost thought I saw a third one (eye) up a bit and to the right of the stealth bunny.

I always thought that with birds both parents were equally active, if not the male even more active than the female. His part is probably done with the nest being complete and mom laying the eggs. I'll bet he will show up when the feeding starts.

Yup, that's what I'm thinking too. We'll see in a few weeks.
