Scarlet tanagers

A yellow bird, then a red, swarming around getting pieces of pine straw, leaf, plastic, cotton, and vine. I was standing beside the tree looking up at the beautiful site, I ran to go get my mother,(talking on the phone).
As I stood looking at a little bowl of pine straw being made, my heart pounded with joy I could not believe that over all the trees in my yard they picked the one right outside my bedroom window! A few days later they were done building there nest and within a week all eggs were laid, soon they hatched. It took them a wile to grow up but every day I could watch the dad or mom feed them insects. After a couple of weeks the baby's fleged! At first we had thought they had fallen out of the nest and my dad got on top of his work van to put them back. Soon, the baby birds were flying, one with the mom, one with the dad.

this is one of the baby scarlet tanagers getting ready to fly!

this is my dad on top of his van putting the scarlet tanagers back in their nest in the tree!

Surprising Threat

I was reading my favorite magazine,
Birds and blooms, (for this month) when I found this interesting fact about hummingbirds:

Once someone saw a praying mantis on his hummingbird feeder, soon a hummingbird flew up to the feeder waiting for the praying mantis to get a drink but the man soon found out that a praying mantis was a hummingbird predator!

Decorah Eagles

My Granny showed me the decorah bald eagles website and I love watching them and seeing the baby eaglets grow up!!! I heard that the mother and father eagles mate for life, which means if one of them die they will never mate again! You might enjoy watching them to at www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles

Baby cardinal

This is a baby cardinal I rescued at my church playground. I found it two weeks ago. The day after I found him and put him on a branch to keep him safe, I found him and rescued him again the next day!!!

This little baby cardinal was learning how to fly. When I rescued it the mother and father (like most birds) where squawking. I put it on a branch so it could lift off better and it's mother and father would find it more easily. I picked it up so it would not be trampled by anybody.
