Going to the Birds

I'm starting to think that we need to rename our blog from "Our Yard" to "Our Animals." I think that there are more posts about the animal life in our house and yard than about the yard itself. First it was Petey. Then it was pictures of the Folks' extremely prolific birds. Then it was the overall anarchy created by the conspiracy of the cats to take over the house. Then it was the Crazy Squirrel Debacle of 2004, which included the sub-plot of the roadrunner who seemed to have joined the squirrel rebellion for a short time. At some point, the ducks likewise joined the efforts to oust us from our yard.

Luckily the animal life calmed down, we retained control of our little domain, and life was, to be frank, rather boring. But then along came Mama Bird to entertain us.

We are happy to report that Mama Bird is now the proud parent of two not-so-cute baby birds (but they are getting a little cuter). Luckily the second egg hatched this past weekend and Mama Bird has since been extremely busy feeding the babies.

I managed to snap a decent shot of her feeding one of the babies. (They are very small it's sort of hard to do.)

So far everything seems ok with the hummingbird family. Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to train Mama Bird to land on my finger. But I'll keep working on that.
