Rebirth

So far this year

These Nine Acres has three successful nests...

one wren

one robin

and one bluebird.

The wrens hatched first,

then the robins, which are pictured here,

and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival 

of 4 bluebirds.

While not the most beautiful newborn creatures on earth,

the birds are certainly interesting to watch. 

Below are horrible pictures of the wrens, 

but I am sharing them anyway.

Because of the position of the nest...high in the rafters of 

Ladybug's treehouse,

the lighting and accessibility of the nest

is very challenging, to say the least.

But, I caught Mama wren

with a juicy, fat caterpillar

and could NOT believe my eyes when I saw one 

hungry youngster eat the whole dang thing...

in one gulp.

I think the caterpillar was larger than the baby bird!

He could have shared with his brothers and sisters for heaven's sake. ;)

Have a good weekend!

TGIF is all I have to say...

that means I actually get to sleep in past 

4AM...no gym on Sat or Sun!

Yeah Me!
