I heard the sound as I awoke this morning. Was it a bird call or something else? I put on my specs and went to the window. There she was sitting on the satellite TV antenna. She gave that call again. Okay, it’s the fly catcher that’s serenading me.
As I watched, she launched and caught a bug and then another before returning to her perch. She did this a few more times before moving to another location.
If I look out toward the garden I’m quite apt to see her or her mate sitting on a fence post standing guard over our veggies. I’m always happy to see them or their cousins. Good friends to have. Wouldn’t you agree?
Wanted: Caption
I was cruising Facebook today when I saw this picture:
How would you caption this pic?
As there was no caption, I’m hoping you can help.
Birds and toads: what would we do without them? And what would they do without the insects.
Exactly!
I am in awe of the interlocking pieces that comprise creation.
Pretty little bird. Was she loud?
No caption…but I’m thinking those are some brave folks who do that sorta stuff.
Yes, Lin, the Eastern Phoebe was loud. Very loud.
The folks that do that are very brave. They are living life on the edge.
Call 911!
Good. Will they arrive in time?
