Here's the light pole in the middle of my butterfly garden. light pole ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And look who's decided to build her nest up there! A dove! Sorry about the picture quality... but my camera doesn't have good zoom capabilities. But you can at least see her. She's so shy! dove nesting ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And remember the line from Goldilocks ... "who's been sleeping in my bed??" Well... this afternoon when I returned home from work, I had a "who's been making a mess on the front porch??" I'll start from the bottom and work my way up to the top. mess-bottom ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) mess-middle ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) mess-top ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) A Wren has decided to make that her home! Hope she's not always this messy! There's also blue birds in the bird house under the Mimosa tree... and a silly Mockingbird actually is brave enough to move into the "boat house"!
You have a regular menagerie. The birds have set you up for a lot of entertainment. The boat house? Really? On top of the boat? A nest? Pix? Jerry
Jerry... the cabin of the boat was built specifically as a bird house. Every time I have my camera ready... wouldn't you know it... the silly bird won't sit and pose for me! But, I'll get a photo of her working on her nest yet!
Well the birds seems to love your garden Cheryl. I'm really pleased to hear that you have a Mockingbird setting up home in the boathouse. You'll soon have lots of babies flying around. :-D
I'm just glad that someone is actually using the bird houses. There's still one more that no one lives in... yet! We get quite a variety of birds. Bluebirds, Redbirds, Wren, Mockingbirds, Doves, Woodpeckers, Chichees, Swallows, Blackbirds, Kildees, etc and every once in a while you'll actually see a Pink Flamingo out in the pasture.
Congrats on your new visitors. I had no idea that wrens were so messy. Its nice that she's there, though.
Jerry... The Mockingbird finally posed for a picture today. Again... my camera's zoom sucks! I'm asking Santa Claus for a new one! Anyhow... this is the best I could get.
