Bird On A Wire Make A Difference

What a difference a day makes!

Yesterday
Today








The race for first bloom is over, and the winner is the yellow Sunsprite!  I was almost certain John F. Kennedy would win this one, but the Sunsprite quickly came up from behind and took the first place slot.  The other contestants are doing well, and I hope to have pictures soon.  



Who is making all that noise?

For the past few days I have been hearing the sweet sound of baby birds coming from my neighbors bushes.  There are a lot of robins around, so I just assumed one of the frequent visitors to my lawn had made a nest next door.  Today I was pleased to discover this blackbird diligently feeding the well hidden babies.  I enjoyed watching her dance down the wire which led right to her nest.  Her family is usually quiet, but as she inches down the line their hungry cries intensify.  She was not happy with my presence in the area, but I did manage to get a picture.  I look forward to photographing the babies when they are ready to see the world.
