Sunday Safari

The rain continues.

The Baltimore Orioles come to the deck.

The birds are watching each other

and learning.

We watched the Mockingbirds try out the oranges

and a Robin tried the grapes.

A male Baltimore Oriole has found the nut feeders.

He seems to "think" about how to remove a nut.

 The Cardinals are also learning about fruit.

An Orchard Oriole was sipping from the blooms

of the Weigela.

The Grackels are too big for the feeders.
 I  encourage them to feed on the ground with the Doves.

 The birds are wet.

The little ones are so cute.

The Hummingbirds circle the house feeding on the Fuchsia
in the window boxes and hanging baskets in the front
 and the Weigela near the back deck.

I am listening to music,

reading and writing.

I am learning too.

We hope to do some tide pooling while on vacation.

I want to see bacteria

in its natural habitat.

I also want to do some star gazing

while we are far away from city lights.

I am inside today looking out.

It is wet and cold!

Happy Sunday Safari.
