Author Garden: SHHHHH! THEY'RE ASWEEP! Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       While stalking the elusive Cedar Waxwing, I noticed a fresh new grassy nest out on the branch of a tree. I could not see into the nest because it was 7 feet off the ground, so I carefully raised my camera up over my head and pointed it into the nest. this is what the picture revealed: HOME SWEET HOME CHIRP, CHIRP, TWEET, TWEET * * * * A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.

Member # 8075 posted                       We have a bird here in Californai they say is a robin, but it's brown with an orange chest and head. Not black. Speaking of babies, we have a new baby crow in the backyard, and his mom. That baby never gives her a break-a thin, honk squawk all day long. I make sure there's plenty of good foods. Crows are scavengers so scraps are OK, plus seed and whole grain breads. * * * * Plants: 1772 | From: Southern California, USA | Registered: Feb 2006  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.139 Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       The babies are coming along!

Take daily pictures until the babies leave the nest to have a diary of the development of the babies. Do a Google Image Search of Barn Swallows and Eastern Phoebes to see what the parents are. * * * * A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.
