| This little wren entertained us with her song |
I've been chilling at my parent's house for the past 2 weeks. They live on the edge of town and have a lovely backyard full of wildlife. I've passed many happy hours sitting on their patio watching the birds flit through the trees. A couple of wrens have built a nest in a nearby birdhouse and every day they've serenaded us with their melodious calls.

| Woodpecker fighting with another bird |
The other morning a woodpecker landed on a hanging suet cake. Bonus - it got into a fight with another bird over the goodies and I happened to have my camera focused at the right time!

| Woodpecker feeding her young |
Then a baby woodpecker landed on the suet cake string and the parent began feeding her offspring. So cute!

| Wild turkey flapping it's wings |
There's a huge flock of wild turkeys that love to wander through my folks backyard. I caught this one flapping his wings.

| Mama deer and fawn |
And finally, several deer are always wandering through the yard. They even drink from my parent's birdbath! One mama deer had a tiny fawn and I was always trying to get a photo of it. Yesterday I happened to be in the right place at the right time and was finally successful!
I'd like to thank everyone who responded my long, detail-oriented post about my recent brain surgery. Your comments warmed my heart! It's wonderful to know I have so many friends in the blogging community.
...the turkey is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe deer photo is awesome!! Hope your IV's are going well for you and you have a great 4th with your parents:)
ReplyDeleteLoud and clear! Don
ReplyDeleteThat must be a pleasant place to recuperate, with so much nature paying you a visit. That's a brave bird to tackle a woodpecker, one stab from that beak could be lethal. Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better and will be back to your normal activities soon. Your parents do have a wonderful yard for watching the wildlife. I love the birds, turkey and the sweet deer. Take care! Have a happy 4th of July!
I am not signed up for email subscriptions but I know some people who read my blog are subscribed to mine. My comments have dropped way off so I suspect Blogger has done its thing. I'll have to figure out a work around.
