Feeding time



This male blackbird seems to be busy collecting grubs and worms for his nesting mate, or perhaps already the offspring. I have always loved to listen to their song, and at this time it is becoming increasingly intricate as they advertise their property.

I love bird watching! Great photo. I wish you could have captured the song for us, too.

We have robins and I just adore them.
With cats around I just wonder how they fare?
Spring is a good time to keep cats in cages lol give the chicks a chance to grow and learn to fly.
We had a dove which nestled in our shed somewhere. It was so nice to hear it coo. Then there was a pair of them.Life is great!

I like them eating grubs, I like them singing, I just wish they wouldn't throw all my mulch over their shoulders onto the path.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
Yes. Now is the time for birds to grow their babies.
Swallows have also come to our place flying over the sea.

lady - some of the birds don't make it, i guess, but enough to keep bringing joy. their survival skills are amazing

cosmo - i can see why that would be annoying :)

crane - you are welcome. swallows have arrived here, too, and i love watching them :)
