Nesting

All four of the

 bluebird houses

we built

a few years ago

are in use!

We have two sets of

tree swallows

nesting

one pair of bluebirds

 and a pair of house wrens

I noticed that just like us

they each have their own

unique way of keeping house!

We have also found

the robins and sparrows

nesting in the trees

throughout the yard.

Now to find those tiny

little hummingbird nests.

I've joined up with this weeks Sunday Showcase Party at:

Under the Table and Dreaming

Bat Houses and Bird Houses

The birds are ready for nesting so we hurried up and built a little thank you gift for our friends who furnish us with rain barrells.

Their last name is Moon so I thought I'd toss one on their bluebird house.

We had a martin house up for the past 3 years;sadly - without a martin in sight.  So this year Thom decided to build a bat house for that pole. He does the constructing, I do the wood burning or painting. As we sit out on the swing on summer evenings, we see the bats  whizzing by overhead. The more the merrier - they love eating misquitoes as much as we hate swatting them.
