Saturday's Critters

 We've our grandkids here all week (Week 33!). We took them to Stewart Park. I noticed all the LDD moths mating and laying eggs in Stanley Park.


They are everywhere, flying all around the trees. I hope their cycle is nearly done. LDD moths  


I peeked out at the robin's nest, and they are growing. I'd cleaned the window a bit. Mom flew off, and I opened the door quickly to grab a photo with the flash on.

Before they went home for the week Friday afternoon, I let the girls hold a baby robin for a moment.


Momma and Poppa watched carefully. They've been snagging a lot of moths, bless their little hearts.

  1. I guess the robins don’t mind the infestation.
    Enjoy your week off.

  13. They must not like my area. I haven't seen or heard a single cicada this year. I'm not sure if I'm happy about that or not!
