Clarinda Cottage

Mom & Dad Chickadee have been flying in and out of their exclusive property all day with food for the new brood.  

When they left the kiddie-poo’s alone (should someone call the Mother Nature social workers?), I took a chance and snapped this picture.

These parents are so attentive and nurturing … some humans I know could take a lesson from this wonderful pair!

So far this week alone we have had Rose Breasted Grosbeaks (new to our feeders), Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, Baltimore Orioles, Sandhill Cranes, baby bunnies, swans & their 7 signets, 2 deer and 1 tiny, tiny fawn and a partridge in a pear tree (not really!).  

Anyhow, it’s been an awesome week in my garden and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
