Thank you, Bird mama. Hope everyone's having a good week-end so far. We went out shopping early this morning & got it all out the way. We pulled up the driveway and an Eastern Phoebe was sitting on the deck roof..

Last night we had a male Towhee walking about in the back yard. Their colors are so bright & wonderful.

Hi Puddles - what a delightful little bird.

Hi Winifred - take it easy out there. It's kind of cold and blustery here today. I need the wind to dry my lawn out. We had rain earlier so fingers crossed that I will be able to cut my lawn tomorrow for the first time this season.

Hi mousiegirl, thanks! I love birds & when I saw the black swan and babies, plunk went my heart strings..

Hi everyone! I was just in my garden, and heard a lot of crows in the creek area across the road. They then flew overhead and I saw that they were after a Red Tailed Hawk, around and around and around they went, at times touching the hawk, and very close to it at all times, and then flew out of sight. I have never seen this in all of the years I have lived here. I wonder if the hawk had something, or the crows did, and they were fighting over it, guess I will never know, but I don't like to see anything or anyone harassed.

mousie, the hawk may have been too close to the crows nest & their babies- I see that where we are- the crows don't think twice to chase hawks away.

Hi Birding Friends, Made it home in spite of the torrential rains and wild lightning, but 6 hours later than I was supposed to. Mechanical problems with the plane while it was still in Fort Lauderdale, then the Tampa airport stopped operations because of the lightning.

This won't be very long because my keyboard ''died'' last night despite about 2-3 hours oh attempts by ATT and then Dell to fix it. I am using the on screen keyboard and it causes my arm to cramp after a bit.

''My'' catbird is back again this year. They are usually quite secretive, but Catty comes to the feeder and starts calling her 'meow' call which I answer.We go back and forth and she comes quite close and gets on the feeder. She also grabs pieces of dry cat food from my outside kitty's pan.

I need to stop as my right arm is hurting and it takes a lot longer to type this way.

Suzie, it's good to see you here.

Puddles, It was col to see you post. Hope you are feeling much better.

Waving to all Birding Friends, take care and be safe.

Hi possummink! Good to see you too!!!

I had a male cowbird urging two of their babies on the fence a little while ago.. so funny watching them.. He was very protective.
