Not Impressed?

It was at quite a distance, so the images are not great, but I was privy to a Tree Swallow breeding. The nest box is nearby and I first saw the beginning of a nest about 5 days ago.I’m not sure if the female… Continue Reading “Not Impressed?”

Gotta Love Me a Robin’s Nest

This one has been built in a pear tree in our little orchard, in the same place as last year. I remember being a little kid as my mother reached up and held a hand mirror over a Robin’s nest that was built on… Continue Reading “Gotta Love Me a Robin’s Nest”
