It's Spring! It's Spring!
Along with Grandma's jonquils and tulips peeping their heads out of the barely warmed ground, one of our favorite signs of Spring is the arrival of birds in the birdhouse.
There's just one problem.
One sharp-eyed, yellow-footed, problem with a hearty appetite who's
no dummy when it comes to knowing a good deal when he sees one. With
all the swallows and house finches flocking around the bird feeders
we've provided a veritable smorgasbord for this handsome Jabberwock -
jaws, claws, and all.
He's chased away that pair of swallows so we'll wait.. and watch...for another pair to come and set up house for the summer.
Or wait... and watch... for a son with "vorpal blade in hand to snicker-snack!"
Totally kidding - we'd never!
Happy Spring!
...and beware the Jabberwocky or Hawk as it may be.
Great pictures!!! I especially love the ones of the sharp-shinned hawk! So neat to have so much aviation action in your backyard!
