Mrs Robin is Back
This is a spring ritual around here. Also, ritual is the interesting behavior of the two phoebes who come here to build their future home. Without fail, they fly in and begin resting on phone wires and clothes lines strung up along the front of the porch, eventually, where the phoebes will hatch little ones, the hummingbirds will fly in and out throughout the summer and fall, and warn all species, even their own, to stay away from the red feeder.
