The Red Breasted Bully

Once upon a time there was a husband and wife sitting on the porch enjoying a beautiful 45 degree evening and basking in their accomplishments of the day.  When suddenly the trees around them became alive with avian. 

There was a most active and lovely red breasted robin, who was steadfastly chasing every other bird out of the tree she had claimed as her own. 

The Cedar Waxwings have made an early appearance and the Ms. Robin would have nothing to do with their tom foolery. 

Now, Mr. Woodpecker took advantage of the situation and made his way around the tree in question without being noticed.  It struck the husband and wife that Ms. Robin was quite a bully, not only chasing the Waxwings from "her" tree, but also trying to remove them from the whole area.  This prompted the family of Cedar Waxwings to take a much needed break at a nearby watering hole.

They came and then went

Until they had all headed toward the silvery sky, refreshed, to find a place to roost.

They will return tomorrow to give that Red Breasted Bully a run for her money!

Jill, see now that it's April I've got birds!  But I'll start looking for pink! :)

Tweet, Tweet, Honk

As spring approaches I am beginning to hear more birds chirping and can catch a glimpse of them coming out of there confinement here and there. Mostly, we still have lots of Canada geese about. In particular one yard between here and work has hundereds of them.  It seems to be a stopping place for them.  I think that the owners of one of the houses feeds them, so they just set up shop there.  Today on the way home from school we stopped so that I could catch a few pictures of them.  Their symphony of honks was mesmorizeing and served as the perfect backdrop for capturing the scene.  Are you starting to see the early signs of spring life?
