One of our summer projects will be planting some babies to take over in the future.

We also had some unusual birds in our garden in Western Europe. As our winters are becoming milder and milder, we had ring-necked parakeets in the garden. We see them more and more because they can survive winters now. It is funny, but strange to see such exotic colored birds in the wild in our area.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-69169155861051241982014-02-25T12:32:57.197-05:002014-02-25T12:32:57.197-05:00Hello,

In the meanwhile we have as daily visitors two red-bellied woodpeckers and a couple downy woodies. We also spotted and captured for the first time some close-up shots on the hawks that live near by. The family has been identified as the red-sholder hawk. Yesterday I saw their nest. In a tall tree right above the roof of my next-door neighbor! Very close..It is good that they eat mice and squirrel but it is bad that they also eat small song birdsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591367588731031323noreply@blogger.com
