Catbirds and House Wren singing here like crazy.
I can't imagine being without the pretty songs of our backyard birds!
Margaret: Thank you ... Doves are just so peaceful. We've been working in our yard a lot lately and a little while ago I went over to an area where my husband was taking out a dead shrub and he pointed to a bunch of feathers and said a Hawk had just flown in and tried to get a dove but the dove got away!
I know the hawks have to eat too but I want them to go to another neighborhood to dine.
There's at least one baby in the Mockingbird nest; I've been watching the parents back and forth with food and hearing the babies ... hopefully I will get a picture before they fledge. I'm also hoping the crows or hawks don't get them.
