American Robins

American Robins visit here in the backyard.  At this time of year, they like to eat my blueberries.  Now that I picked enough, I let them eat as they want.  Sometimes I drop enough berries on the ground for them.

"Thanks a million for the berries."

 

"I can see better on this pear tree."

"Sometimes I bring in a young one."

Friends at the Wetland

  A week ago, a couple of Cedar Waxwings and an American Goldfinch were looking far from the top of the fir tree.

"A nice day to look far away."👍

"A nice day to munch the delicious berries."🤩

Cowbird, male: "A nice day for me, too."🌞

Every bird seems to enjoy being in the wild place."

A Baby Bird

 A big dragonfly comes to the backyard during the hot summer months.🐝🐞👀

Now is the time for baby birds to appear in my backyard.  This is a House Finch female baby.

"My mum told me it is safe here."😁👍

"I'm drinking and bathing here."😉👌

Birdbath Friends

 The weather is now very hot for a week (around 100 F).  My backyard finally have one, two, and three white butterflies floating around.

I have three birdbaths in the backyard.  This cement one is heavy and old.  

"I like this one in the shade, though it is shallow."😉😁

"I like it, too.  It hides me for safety."😉👍

The Wetland Scene in June

 At the wetland nearby, Song Sparrows are very friendly.

"I see you often."😍👍

"I like to catch a fish early in the morning."👀

"I like to find some bugs inside the reed."😉

"I like eating the dry seeds here."👍

Families are Everywhere at the Wetland

 A Wood Duck family.

"Our mommy always takes us to a new place for fun.🤩👍"

"I am still a baby in the nest.  I will be flying around pretty soon.😁👍"

"We live here during the summer.  Our little ones are already out flying on their own.👀☺️🌞"

Rufous for Summer

 The other day I saw a Rufous Hummingbird just for a little while.  I hope some of them can stay here for a month before going back to south.

"I do not know if I should go up to north to see more friends."👀🦜

"These hot lips are already in bloom.  I love this nectar."😍👍

"I love these purple flowers too."(●'◡'●)
