Rosie and Mr. Hawthorne are on a quick road trip -
he to visit his Mommie and I to visit with Maxine in Danville.
Anyways, since I haven't uploaded last night's dinner
pictures with Maxine and Carmen yet,
I give you cat and dogs and bird nests.
Giada's very conscious of her surroundings.
She always takes time to stop and smell the flowers.
Youngest Hawthorne found this robin's nest
in my bay tree.
This nest is under my octagon room.
A cardinal's nest you can't see
in my trees around the pool.
Finally got a good look at the Mama & Daddy
under the octagon room
and have determined they are house finches.
If you check out a habitation map
for these birds,
they have a Western habitat and an Eastern habitat.
The house finch was originally a resident of
Mexico and the Southwestern United States.
The Eastern House Finches are all descended
from caged birds released years ago in Long Island.
They were introduced to the East in the 1940's
when they were sold illegally in New York City
as "Hollywood Finches,"
a marketing ploy.
To avoid prosecution under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918,
sellers and owners released the birds.
First few years were tough for them,
but they made it.
Second egg in the robin's nest.
The black bullet in the pool.
Dogwood chillin'.
I like the background music.
I thought the bird's nest under the deck looked like a house finch nest. It looks very much like the nest in my Boston fern.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I found that the babies have flown the nest. Sigh, they grow up so quickly...
LOLOL AHAHAHAHAA my animals are so special.
