Favorite spring subject


 Great nest in back yard, well build, good protection, attentive parents.




Around the corner on the avenue, two new fledglings.  I'll babysit for them, because they tend to wander onto the sidewalk.

The face I love.

An easy morning

First stop was a check at the fuse box. These young doves will fledge soon.
 
Right over my head there was movement. Oh boy, the male black and white warbler..


Time for peek-a-boo between the leaves. Photo challenge.


With this you can see how small this bird is, smaller than a sparrow.
Eyeballed by the catbird. I'm trying to find their nest.
Ovenbird sitting for a change.
This robin is having a bad hair day.

Down near West End a new fledge.... adorable robins, two of them. Just out of nest.




This one is going to grow up to be the Godfather.

Home construction

One twig at a time, dove construction. I hope this will be a viable home.
 




Catbird looking for food. I'm sure they're nesting here, but haven't found nest yet.
Beautiful clean wove nest. Robin parents are fastidious house keepers.
A "what's that" bird.

Fun afternoon


 

Doves still on fuse box.

Oven bird plodding along in dog walk space.
Continual plea for worms at backyard robins' nest
This bee flew right past my face and stopped on branch for a long time. Nap?  Pollen on wings.


But the best was the male black and white warbler going after bugs, mostly small termites in favorite tree.









Not skittish when there's available food.
