Earlier this year
I was overjoyed with the prospect
of having a Bluebird family
nesting on our property.
As some of you may know,
the nest box was raided,
probably by raccoons.
Although I have continued to
to see a Bluebird occasionally,
I do not know where they are nesting.
HOWEVER,
we have been blessed
with an abundance of RED birds.
The Cardinals and the House Finch
seem to be raising some pretty
big families this summer.
As soon as the sun peeks
through in the morning,
they are checking the feeders.
Their bright, red feathers
glisten in the sun.
Cardinals, must have really good eyesight,
because they seem to notice me
on the inside of the window
and quickly fly off.
But this is certainly one, handsome guy!
The Finch and Cardinals often eat in large groups,
and I have enjoyed watching the young ones
begging their parents
to put that seed in their mouths
when all they need to do is bend over
and pick it up.
Breakfast is served,
so dig in!
God bless your day!
