In Anticipation

The Hummingbird feeders have been thoroughly cleaned and refilled and hung beneath the tree, in anticipation of the "spotters" traveling through. I probably won't see many until the weather warms, but at least I can get on their radar by having the feeders hung.

The Bluebird boxes have already shown activity of feathering and nesting, as have the little Carolina Wren houses and the Robins nests. It's all so exciting.

"Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art."

~ Izaak Walton

Feathering

Somebirdy has been very, very busy.

Oh, there's music in the forests

And there's music in the glen,

As the birds are warbling greetings

To the spring that's come again.

All their piping is so merry

That the woodlands seem to ring,

With the praises of the birdsongs

For the coming of the spring.
Join the joyous woodland chorus

And raise high your voice in cheer,

Join the birdsongs in thanksgiving

For the springtime of the year!
