Well, Maezi & I were checking out the roses in the front yard while our Mom was dead-heading them. (I didn’t know there was such a thing as a rock & roll rose). Anyway, a big bright Jay swooped right overhead & sat on the rain gutter. He (I think it might have been Ruder) […]
The nest has sat empty, abandoned & has been taken over by spiders… You can see that the fine grasses were pulled apart so you can see thru the nest layer to the more rustic twigs below. But earlier today, a juvenile Jay came by – checked out the rose bower – & hung around […]
We were hanging out in the living room & Maezi heard it before I did – she’s got really good ears. Have you ever seen her ears?! She saw a Jay fly into the nest, but she barked & ran out the dog door to the Predator Preserve, got under the nest & started barking […]
There is a hole in my heart where 3 little birds should be. I never heard or saw anything going on in particular. Everything seemed perfect. The usual suspects were hanging around the yard. Jayne, Jayson, Ruder, the occasional Mocking bird, Sparrow, Humming bird – but no noise, nothing. We woke up in the morning […]
Lost. Bereft. . They no longer exist.
. . . Ok, we’re all here – everyone is a-twitter with anticipation. Jayson’s keeping watch over the hill. . . . . . . . . The nest is a cozy spot for Jayne, who, admittedly, has had to do a lot of the work. . . And then there’s that pesky third bird […]
I can be patient…but maybe today the eggs will start hatching… Jayne & Jayson seem pretty determined to sit on the nest all the time & I see them “head down” in the nest. I can tell they’re moving the eggs around – almost like they are inspecting some rare jewels…which, when you think about […]
………………………………..Such a pretty brown turquoise egg batch ………………………………..In a nest, by the gate, near the latch …………………………………….Hurry up little Jay! …………………………………….Today must be the day, ………………………………..Can’t wait for those blue birds to hatch.
An extra Jay, came over today & hung out in the rose bower. Is it Ruder? (see posts on 5-23-10 for a blow by blow account of the meeting) Very handsome fellow…but the weird thing is that he had a twig. Exactly the same kind of grey twig that Jayne & Jayson used for the […]
bird, it’s a bird, it’s a super bird! Birds Birds Birds!!! Why not Dogs Dogs Dogs? Really!? What is up with that? Look at me, people! It’s me, Maezi. I’m incredibly cute – so – I don’t lay eggs – big deal. Don’t get me wrong – loooove the birds. Love the eggs. Really, I […]
