Here's a baby mockingbird in the backyard. They hatched about a week ago, and Momma Mockingbird was sitting directly overhead watching my every move!

What type of birds typically nest in your backyard?

"Great picture. I had hummingbirds fly by my place when I first moved in, so I put up a hummingbird feeder. I change it religiously and they're not coming to it. Guess I lost my window of opportunity." Its a quiet year for hummingbirds at my house, less than last year. As someone wrote they tend to become more active shortly before heading south...we call it hummingbird wars!

Tufted Titmouse this year

A mean mockingbird, wrens in the ferns, and bluebirds.

Momma Mockingbird

LOL You're lucky you got a head left with mama so close. they usually bombard you with their fly by dives.

Huck, the humming birds will start hitting the feeder in August. They get so hungry then when the flowers stop blooming and they have babies to feed. Please don't give up on the feeder yet.

Baby birds are so sweet!

LOL! I never noticed the ears before on a bird.

Poor thing they are UGLY at that stage.

HA! I need to post the pic of the squirrels at my feeder. There were 4 out there yesterday at the same time.

Awww how sweet Java!!!

Oddly I do not find nests in the yard...maybe because of the dogs...though trees are loaded with squirrel nests...trying to figure out how to get past the dogs in the yard and to the feeders *LOL* Guess they have yet heard "The early bird catches the worm" *LOL* Dogs do not go outside until 7 AM...then the chase is on all day long *LOL* Squirrels slowly creep into yard...gets just about that close...dog watches until it hits about a foot from feeders...race to who will get to the fence first *LOL*
