Lone Sunflower

This lone little sunflower grew beneath our bird feeder. The
goldfinches have already been pecking on it. I plan on having
a sunflower garden next year.

Until Next Year!

Waiting for food.


Watching mama circle around the bird box.




Daddy's turn.


This is the last picture I took of our Tree Swallows.
We hope to see them next year :0)

Hungry baby. Looks like he or she is about to eat mama's face :0)


Daddy keeps a watchful eye from above the bird house.


Mama and baby.




How cute is that little face? The day I took these pictures, all
the baby Tree Swallows left the nest. I believe this little one
was the last to leave.

Proud daddy all puffed up.


Very first glimpse of baby Tree Swallow :0) Up until this
point we could just hear them peeping inside the box.

A Peck on the Beak :0)

A sweet welcome home.

Tree Swallows are perfect birds for close-up, hands-on learning:
they are active, attractive, and super-tolerant of people. Best of
all, they live right out in the open so you can really see what
they're doing. They will let you into their lives like no other
songbird.

Double jointed? You be the judge :0)
