Phoebe seems to be thinking about another brood. They are hanging around eating bugs and singing love songs! 'Tis lovely. They don't seem to mind the heat wave. It is awful out there.
The House Wrens have filled the Bluebird nest box. They seem good to go. Soon they'll likely start filling the empty ones to stop neighbours moving in. I kinda like that!
If you enlarge it, you may be able to see the little baby Robin's heads from time-to-time, but take my word for it.
I realized this was last year's nest recycled. I should have looked for it. In past years the Robins have nested under the deck.

The Cedar Waxwings have hatched, and they fly all around us. I quite like their little bandit masks! First up, a bath in the water fountain.














How delightful for you! Stay cool though.
ReplyDeleteYAY for the birds. Love the Cedar Waxwings.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful week!
Cute adventures. My apartment eve has a downspout bend with two used nests on it. One was reused this spring. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI also noticed that about your Fred gardeners...kind of spotty. Loved seeing all the birds and nests. There were several nests in the recent art show's floral arrangements, with eggs. I felt a bit sad that these eggs wouldn't hatch...and even wondered if they were empty shells.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for the nesting! Don't overdo in this heat!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to watch the nests and baby birds! And, of course the bird baths
ReplyDeleteI love Cedar Waxwings. The cardinal has been singing away here so I think another brood is coming.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, so lovely and refreshing 💕 ❤️
ReplyDeleteStay as cool as you can - and thank you for sharing the wonders that surround you.
ReplyDeleteSeems early for cedar waxwings to fledge.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to hear and see all your birds that are so different from what we have in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteOMG Jennifer, be sure to read my blog post about one of the phoebe babies flying off.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all the nests and your cedar waxwings. I haven’t set eyes on them for many years and that was when we were road tripping. I do love your Guinivere and the foxglove.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your ability to spot nests. Fieldglasses? Patience? A good ear for cheeping? All of the above. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteTsk for Fred not trimming properly. Dock her pay.
