RE: Contest Entry: Robin Shadow Watcher

in Shadow Hunters4 years ago

I was glad to see the end of the snow Denise. You were lucky ...no shovelling or plowing the driveway.

You weather is ahead of mine. the robins just came back in April. Robins are a beautiful bird and keep their own council, hopping along searching for those earth worms. They must have fabulous hearing to hear a worm moving beneath the soil.

A cherry tree would be an excellent place for their home. I did see a nest in the birch tree but it’s too high up to know when eggs are in it.🌸

Sort:  

I cannit believe the nest is low enough for me to use a step stool!

Of course, i have a swallow in my maibox, already building a nest. In the newspaper part of it.

I hope you are able to capture some photos of the eggs and baby birds.
Last year a sparrow built a nest in the eaves of the house. I see she is around again but don't know where the nest will be. We had to remove the nest from the eaves after the babies left.

I sure am going to try. The duck is a little skittish but I got a few shots of her eggs. I put them in my post last night. Pretty exciting. Right under a pine branch that sweeps the ground. I found it on mistake when I spooked her.

Twelve big duck eggs. :)) Right in the front yard.

I just read your post where you found the duck’s eggs. That’s a great feeling to see nature at work.

I was so excited about it. Right in the front yard! I hope I catch the little ducklings before they waddle across the street to the water!
