I think I've only ever seen one male ever. I have a fair of barn swallows at the house now. I think they are all on their second clutches. I'm hoping they don't go for three this year. It gets too hot for that and they fledge early and then the poodles spend all day catching babies. There...

I had a little Indigo Bunting eating grass seeds in the backyard just off the porch over the weekend.

We did it growing up as a treat in the evening. And it works great if they are out and I need to get them to put back up quickly for some reason. They don't get it every day and I'm out now actually. I probably let them have it once or twice a week. Usually a two-cup scoop for every seven...

There were two Great Blue Herons flying over the property late yesterday at dusk. Not sure if it was a mating or territorial thing. I heard them before I saw them and assumed geese. One was definitely pursuing the other. Lots of acrobatics and things happening in the air.

There's a pair of Candian geese nesting on a pond on the way to work. I can't wait to see them with the little ones in tow.

The barn swallows here usually have 3-4 clutches over the summer depending on how hot it gets. The Phoebe nests where I can't see them on the house, but I usually notice one batch of babies.

What a bum! He's waiting for the only thing he has to help with I suppose.

The Meadowlarks here are terrified of me. If I even walk out the door they fly off.
