We found these little red wing black bird babies on our walk along the golf course which has a lot of ponds. All the kids took a turn being lifted up to see the nest in the arborvitae hedge.
Sadly on a walk of few nights later, the nest was torn down and the birds gone, eaten by a cat or raccoon. a first hand lesson on the realities of nature.
The neighborhood watch. :)
We got new neighbors last month and there are two boys to play with now. This is before they moved in, actually I think they were observing a load they had brought.
Ethan, deep in thought, as he rides along on an evening walk.
These photos crack me up, this "poor" hen does not seem to mind being caught and carried around the yard.
She is actually penned up now since we got some garden in and she and the garden do not get along peaceably.
Or I guess to be more accurate she and I don't get along peaceably when she is in my garden.
She is not getting along well with the new chicks either, but since there is one of her and 11 of them she may have to relocate or come to some agreement.
Ethan finally switched from crawling to walking in May. Before he could walk tho, he would still push this chair or any other around the kitchen and climb up to help himself to whatever was within reach.
They were overjoyed to dig out the slip n slide again as we've had two weeks of pure sunshine.
This final batch of chicks are doing well, and growing quickly. It will be fun to have eggs again in a few more months.We have a mixed flock so will have a variety of egg colors as well. Looking forward to that!
