Spring Chicks

Our backyard Wrenns have four new mouths to feed.  We've been helping just a bit by putting out meal worms daily. :)  They're so cute and we're enjoying watching them learn to fly.   

this pic made me laugh until I cried! lol

not good lighting, but you can see them together. :)

Backyard Fox

This cute fox was in our backyard just a couple of days before Thanksgiving.  He or she was on the move and I was taking pics through our sliding glass doors.  We're aware of a fox den not far from our home, which is sad because we live in the city and the roads are busy.  
About a month ago our son was coming home around 1 a.m. and saw a deceased fox in the road.  He pulled over and moved him to under a tree.  He told us that he could hear another fox crying not far away.  Their den is nearby where the fox was found, so the others were probably watching my son.  Here in Cary if you call and report there's an animal on the road or roadside they will come and pick it up.  We now have that number in all of our cell phones.
As far as our cute visitor, I sure enjoyed watching him or her...absolutely beautiful.

what a sweet face

love those eyes and ears

look how well camouflaged 

he must be eating suet, birdseed and maybe a few peanuts

Monday Morning Visitors

Our backyard has been the hot spot this morning!  I've had some adorable visitors!  Happy Monday!

the wrens love meal worms!

Not sure what type of bird this is, but it's pretty!

Winging It Wednesday

I've got a lot of random bird photos that have been taken anywhere from our yard to parks to parking lots. lol  Hope you Enjoy!

This Purple Finch is sitting on the roof of veterinarian's office.
They have  a bird feeder on the side of the building.  I was at the gas station next door. 

Someone's special..

Spring Babies!

Our backyard Chipping Sparrows are proud to announce that they have two new additions to their family!  Awwwwwww!  I wish I had the sound effects for you as well, so funny!
Happy holiday weekend!  Enjoy!

Colorful Backyard

When we moved into our new home one of the first things I did was plant flower seeds.  I took everything I could find and threw them into the built in planters on the lower deck.  We're finally seeing some beautiful blooms!  
I may have to beg MadSnapper to send me more Powder Puff and Poinciana pods, I'm not sure if I have any left.  My parents have Sandra's grandchildren down in Florida, hope they survive. lol

Happy weekend!

Roxanne likes flowers just like her mommy. :)
