. . . 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 […]
I can hardly stand to look – after the fight, I can’t bear to think of what state the eggs might be in – but Jayne comes & broods & acts like they’re ok. . . . . . It’ s the afternoon, just a few hours after the melee & the way she had […]
Jayson has been scarce today, but finally visits the nest – but no bugs – what’s up with that!? Peck, peck a little back & forth peck – doesn’t look particularly friendly. What? Are they fighting? Do they need some friendly counseling in these stressful last few days of waiting? Jayne gives him the brush […]
Sitting, more sitting, days of sitting. Many bugs, More sitting. & what do you give to Jays as a nest-warming “welcome baby” present? Worms? I don’t see worms all that often – only earthworms, only after a rain, & then I like to rub my chest on the ground so the worms stick to my […]
Raven. Ravenous. Ewwww! Now I know where the word ravenous comes from & really illustrates the bird… I just saw a huge raven pluck some small bird out of the air & land on the lawn & eat it! It was huge & scary! Its body was as long as mine -I didn’t even have […]
