While trimming one of our snowball bushes, my husband found a nest of wee mockingbirdies. They were so cute.
The parents kept bringing the fledglings food.
Then, one afternoon, we watched a fledgling flexing its wings as it ran across the yard. Over the next couple days, the other fledglings, like the first one, ran and with short hops and flights as they learned to fly up to the treetops.
And now the nest is empty.
You know it never ceases to amaze me how quickly baby birds learn to fly.
Bird watching made for an extra bit of joy over the past few days.
I hope you all have an enjoyable rest of the week!
In the following days, there were more hummers visiting the feeders. They buzz and chitter and tease each other. They’re such fun to watch. It’s also fun to see how the feeder looks at different angles; the first photo is my view sitting on the porch looking up at the sky, this second feeder photo is my view of the same feeder from my kitchen window.
We noticed that she likes to eat the Meadow Buttercups that grows sporadically in our yard.
Since we discovered she likes them, my husband leaves the little batches of Meadow Buttercups if he sees them when he’s mowing. We feel that there’s something in them that the turkey needs or she wouldn’t eat every one of them she finds.
We’re hoping the big beautiful hen has a big flock of cute little poults in the next month or so.
Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!
