That is so wonderful. I am a total bird lover.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
It's always a happy day when "Mr. & Mrs. Chatterjee*" return from their summer place to raise a new family in our barn. Swallows in flight just make my heart SING.
(an Indian surname, but it always reminded me of swallow language)
We have purple martins and it is about time for them to return.
I''ve been expecting them any day now, but we had gobs of snow (very rare) on Sunday and a generally cold winter, so I'm wondering.
We usually see flocks of American robins starting in January and I'm just now seeing them in medium-small numbers.
Bring it on, baby, time for spring.
I remember Zen's post a couple years back of her 'babies'. I would absolulty love to have a nest of babies in my yard to talke pics of. As it is, I get to walk up to pine siskins eating me out of house and home with the never ending nyger see I have around. Please show pics if you take some...

Aggie_Ama - Good to hear your birdies came back! Considering your area has been so dry, I'm sure they appreciate the bird bath, just remember to change out the water to keep mosquitoes from breeding in it. Other birdies will appreciate it too.![]()
