Birds and Flowers



I finally got a Clematis to grow!

I got really close to this woodpecker this morning


Anyone know what these are? I figured it out after I left for work, they came back with mother, Starling

Without the speckles they surely would be hard to identify.

This is baby bird time indeed. I was watching some piping plover chicks yesterday through binoculars at the beach. They are only the size of a smidge of dust from under the bed but they run so fast along the shore. One parent bird was doing the broken-wing act to try and lure me away from the spot! I just sat on my log and watched them for half an hour. The sky was clear for a change and the sun felt good. When the fish crows got too close the plovers would dive bomb them.

Congratulations on your clematis - it's a beauty!!

I'm so disappointed that I didn't see the Carolina Wren babies fly away. I just glad that they managed to do it without any of the cats noticing them - I'm assuming that they flew away successfully because I haven't spotted any feathers or such around.

Hi! I love your pictures - especially the chick-a-dee, and the action shots of Corey. Looks like summer is in full swing in your neighborhood!

Are you back yet? Did you have fun? Is your garden washed away?
