A group of red-winged blackbirds watching sandhill cranes migrate along the Platte River. The blackbirds were having some very lively conversations about the scene.
I pulled up in the driveway one day and was surprised to see at least 10 cute little birds bathing in the bird bath. I am glad I had my camera on me like always so I could get a video.
...and reads a book she found in the library, about caring for birds. 'Little Bird' sits in her spacious cage and sings so sweetly for her new friend.
A good friend gave me the armchair and birdcage today, at work. It wasn't until I got home, that I realised how perfectly they would fit in with this weeks letter-E- and continue the story of the bird Yotsuba found yesterday! Thank you very much, Diane!!!

The poor Red-Bellied Woodpecker couple have been defending their nest for a couple of weeks. Today - bird wars started up again but this time it was different. A pair of Downy Woodpeckers were moving in on them. Ended up with Chickadees in the tree top too and they were all in a big, noisy fight over who could stay.
Later, I went out and found the Red-Bellied and the Downys teamed up against a squirrel. Everything's quiet so I'm guessing the tree has two families thinking of nesting. Hope it works out for them!
We left the huge old elm that expired on us after several years of drought. No matter how much water we poured on it - nothing helped. When I noticed the holes in the top of the tree it was decided - no one is cutting down my dead elm and I'll fight the civic club over this one if they happen to notice the tree. My woodpecker family will have their home as long as they stay around. (Yes - we've cut the tree back to the core to be sure no limbs fall and do any damage. In fact, we did that shortly after Ike when the core was damaged. Poor tree didn't stand a chance!)
I like the symmetry; the reflectionless bird in the middle staring me down; the birds to either side engaged in their own contemplations; the other birds milling about; the sky reflected in the foreground water.
Even birds are one with man in cleaning our rivers and waterways. So are we...
