Birds and Flowers

Two things in nature that really make me happy...birds and flowers.  Namely baby birds and watching new life come to be, Blue birds, Robins and I love my hummingbirds who always come back (mine came back on Ben's birthday this year).  And I love my flowers.  Oh I am so excited for summer.

So very glad to see we had a successful brood of robins in our front tree this year.  Last year, the babies all died :(

And extra excited to see this couple of bluebirds working on their nest the past couple of days.

Did you know that the male bluebird is the most colorful of the pair.  And he shows the female several different possible homes by going in and out of the bird house and flapping his wings.  The female is the one who decides on the home and can actually begin building a nest in several different homes before she decides which one she would like to lay her eggs in and raise her next family....all very interesting!!!  Much like us humans I guess.
