this is what's in the bluebird house




I was able to get the picture because no one buzzed my head. After I took the shot I walked away and stood for a while and didn't see mom or dad. But...I didn't hear or see any birds of any kind. Lizzy has not brought up any prey lately. If mom has disappeared will dad abandon the nest?

I haven't visited the nest since the 17th or 18th.

They're probably ok. Just continue to watch the nest.

ok. hope so.

mom is there.

Eggs are fine then and you shall soon have more babies!

As the mandolins play, "Speak Softly Love", Thornius says , "Congratulations, Godmother! You must give them an offer they CAN'T refuse."

I had no idea mom would lay eggs again so soon.

My mother has blue birds in a little wren house. She says the mom and dad are so big they can barely fit through the tiny opening to feed the babies. They think there were 5 eggs but that only 3 hatched. Possibly because the space is so tiny? I don't now.

is this a mockingbird. Bad picture but it was almost dark?

Thats a nice photo tho..
Thorn

I looked it up and it sort of does look like that.

It been raining all week, havnt had much bird time .LOL
Mowed and swept the whole lawn today. It was so tall.

i have a sweeper I pull behind me and it catches it all. Wow is wet grass heavy.

do you put the grass clippings in your garden?

No i did some time.. either cows eat it or I think maybe compose pit will do ..

Never tried it.
My neighbor did hers like that, I dont wanna be her copy cat.. I did it other years but it gets soggy wet and isnt much good for tomatoes riping.

She is a richy widow and likes everyones men to do her work.. I keep mine away.

She thinks they should.......

I read that grass clippings are good for keeping weeds out of the garden. I've never done it. We leave ours on the grass.

A rich Widder woman you say? :wink:
