And a bit better shot of the Hummer, but still didn't catch his ruby throat. I'll keep trying.

Just took these. I have NEVER seen this type of bird in my life. Edited to add: He's a rose-breasted grosbeak! So cool. 20250514_165910~2.jpg20250514_165522.jpg20250514_165520.jpg

I’ve been watching a hummingbird nest that’s in a tree in my yard for weeks now and the babies are getting so adorable.IMG_7182.jpeg
Oh I love this. Lucky you.
 
I have only had them once or twice in the last few years. Aren't they beautiful? Here is one of mine.

Very hungry Blue Bird babies in our birdhouse cheeping loudly to be fed.

I often see deer behind my house, on the other side of the fence, as I abut conservation land, but today while I was cooking dinner I saw this lady eating my hostas! Was able to take a quick photo through the glass before she ran off when I opened the door to the deck. It's the first time I've actually seen one in my yard.IMG_2634.JPG
