    If I were a bird... I'd want to take up residency in your lovely yard too! :-D

    My, you do have a variety of birds! You obviously feed them, and that birdhouse is a treat to look at. I can see why you have bird-tracks all over your yard!

    My, if I were a bird I'd move in with you straight away! :D That birdhouse looks mighty comfortable - at least it would if I were a bird.

    It looks as though the tree swallow has missed the chance of a good nesting place. The wren has obviously set up home and is bringing up her family in the nest box already.

    The birds definitely know where to spend their day.
