A hive of activity in the garden
You can tell spring is in the air as many of the birds and animals in the garden are in frantic mating mode. The rabbits are galloping around the garden chasing each other. We had four in the garden last night all going crazy and bounding here and there.
We took these pics during one of their tea breaks!
The killdeer are also running round the garden. We still have a pair, so we want to see babies like last year soon.
This morning we had a male American goldfinch on the feeder. We see them quite a lot round here and the male changes colour from winter to summer. Here he is in full breeding colours.
The grackles, blackbirds and brown headed cowbirds are all in mating mode with the males all showing off to the females who rarely seem to show any interest. The females just carry on eating whilst the males are fluffing up their feathers telling them how handsome they are the females seem to say “yeah right”.
