Monday Bird Nest Update

Not much to report these days. Many little ones have fledged. In Canada, a few of the live cams are having lens trouble. They have clouded up.


What remains clearly visible are two nests. One is an eagles' nest in Canada - in Delta, B.C. This is the smallest of the eagles' nests. There was one egg, and since that one hatched, another chick was placed in the nest, and Mom is raising two chicks. They are pretty darned cute!



The other I can still tell you about is the hummingbird nest. Someone has named these birds. Mama is Phoebe and baby is Jewel.




And that's about it for today.



In our part of the world, the heat is gone for the present, and it is rainy. They tell us it will continue to rain the rest of the week, off and on. I guess that's a good thing for me. My garden is seeded. I have both flowers and vegetables in some containers on my back deck. No doubt they can all use the rain, and it saves me getting out there early in the morning before the heat sets in.

Hello Everyone.

I know that the season is over. The hummingbirds have flown off on their migration to Mexico. But I miss them. I guess I'm trying to stretch the season just a little bit longer.


A few years ago, while I was visiting my daughter in California, I took this little photo in her courtyard. I really liked it because of the shadow.









In California, they seem to have hummingbirds all year, or very nearly. And why not? It's always warm and the flowers bloom year 'round. Here in New Jersey, the season is all too short. While it is here, I hang one of my feeders right outside of my front door, so that I can watch them from my easy chair.



























This little lady decided that she owned all rights to that feeder this summer, and chased away any others who dared try to visit.









I had calibrachoa blooming under the feeder, and some preferred those blossoms, or at least investigated them before moving up to the feeder.
