Killdeer


Astrid took these pictures of the Killdeer in our Meadow. Larry mowed around the eggs so they will have a chance to hatch. If you get near the nest, the Killdeer acts like she is injured and tries to get you to chase her leading you away from the nest.

Mother's Day Fun

Had a great day with my family--missed Greg Jones, though. I love them all and I am so thankful for Larry, Laura, Erin, Astrid, Ingrid, Sigrid, Clayton, Greta--plus bonus of Eric and Greg. Eric cooked for me! Yum, yum!








Galla Creek Carrie Nation

Carrie Nation is home again! She is going to really line up with Tie. Carrie is out Bonnie and Shooter...Tie is out of Dobs and Shooter!

Happy Mother's Day

Moses was left by his Mother in the Bulrushes. I can't imagine how she felt. Hush, little one don't cry! I think these are soft stem Bulrushes and not like the ones near where he was left.

Not A Red Bird

Mr. Bushy caught Bonnie Sue Parker taking a nap and had a good sunflower seed supper.

Stop-Over

We were just a little pause in their journey, but I thought they were so graceful that I felt peaceful just watching them rest at Galla Pond.

Another Bird At My Feeder

What bird could this be. He has been visiting my feeders? Who can help me figure this one out?
It is Rose-breasted Grosbeak !
