SPRING HAS SPRUNG!



THE GRASS IS RIZ!






I WONDER WHERE THE BIRDIES IZ!





We have three baby towhees nesting in a clematis bush right at eye level.  The parents are very attentive (who could ignore those open mouths?!!?) and I zipped out for photos when I noticed they were away from the nest.  The babies hatched two days after I took the egg photos.  When I took the baby pics the parents were perched on the apple tree nearby.  They were chattering but not in an agitated way (I don't really understand bird language but they seemed pretty calm) and flew to the nest as soon as I left.  We had a robins' nest last year in the same bush.  It is so lovely to watch the activity and see the babies grow.  I love spring!
