It's such fun to watch a family of birds or other wildlife (Meg's raccoons, for instance) grow up.
Need to take doggies out for their late afternoon walk andthink about what we're having for dinner tonight. Where does the time go. Sigh!
Thank you both for the pretty graphics today, Billie your pretty opening and, MEG, your gorgeous bluebird. Beautiful photos of birds captured in motion.
I lost my “Scrubita” the Scrub Jay. Don’t know what happened to her, but she is gone now. There are lots of cats in the neighborhood lately, don’t know if she fell victim or not. But, my Precocious comes around almost every day for peanuts and he seems to have taken another mate and they raised a clutch of hatchlings this spring. The nest wasn’t in our yard, but the babies were around for awhile with both parents learning to fly and forage.
Anyway, Precocious is looking very ratty. I think the heat is getting to him. I keep the bird bath filled, but there is still little escape from the heat when it is 106. Poor thing.
Hope you are both having a good day.

Thank you for the bird in flight compliments.
O , Lori..I have enjoyed your stories and pictures of Scrubita so much...Sad thaat she has disappeared..I have never had a bird eat out of my hand and am happy you have Precocious at least...bedraggled though he may be.
Years ago I saw two road runners pecking away in my neighbors flower bed, Billie...I was so excited!
I have a good second crop of cardinals right now...juveniles going through the awkward stage...some still fluttering wings asking for Poppa to feed them.
I am storing up this baby raccoon experience in my memory bank..My sleep schedule is wrecked, of course..and I am having little luck getting back to normal..O well.
I think I’ll have breakfast for dinner.
