The front yard has been busy. Joseph Brian called me to the front window. They'd had their morning constitutional and were ready to come in. They only needed a touch of coaxing!
Later on a rose-breasted grosbeak was peering in the window, tapping on the it or its reflection. That got my attention.

Thursday began with a tornado watch. Caitlin had rain, wind and thunder boomers before we did. She texted me a 'be careful' message. Toronto peeps reported hail the size of ping pong balls!
Happily all was well here. Cinnamon slipped out the door as we heard thunder, and the rains fell. He was determined. FREEDOM! Eventually we got him back in. He was busy watching the House Wrens! A new family is setting up in the green bird house. I think!
I love the way young birds call for food. They are really loud.

You can hear the tree frogs calling. At 29 seconds, the bat flies by.

...it was hot here yesterday with damaging winds to our south. Take care.
Glad you all were a) prepared for weather and b) seemed to have missed the mark this time! Grosbeak is pretty, as are cardinals!
You have a bountiful back yard! Here in rural Connecticut the powerlines are very susceptible to being damaged in windstorms by the very high trees. Thanks for visiting my blog!
We had some rain off and on with threatening skies, but that is all that came of it.
A Rose-breasted Grosbeak tapping on my window would be awesome. I'll have to make do with the sound of rain drops. Enjoy your weekend.
Love this time of year except for storms
Yikes! I'm sure the birds were happy when the cats went in.
We had a rose-breasted grosbeak on the patio once. We were excited! We even got photos. It never came back, though. You're fortunate in having the wrens and cardinals choose you :) We get them regularly but not nesting. I'm glad the storms didn't get you!
We're not getting any rain, but the heat is unusually high.
I've never seen as many grosbeaks as we have around this year!
Those cats keep you busy.
We had no rain here in the west end of the city.
Love the life and the colour in your yard. I am very glad you didn't lose power this time.
I am so thankful your power stayed on, we rely on it for everything these days. Love the tree frogs, very musical.
You have some beautiful birds in your area Jenn! Oh, scary having a tornado watch. I was in a tornado watch when I visited the Maritimes back in the early 2000's and the hail was frightening!
Cute kitty in the bird bath. I love the Grosbeak!
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
Your sunrise photos are lovely and the clouds are impressive. You also have a lively backyard with pretty birds. In Nashville and also in Atlanta we have been getting many storms lately but mostly awful hot weather.
I am picturing JB wrestling with a sandwich. 😀 I know, I know.
