Ruby Breasted Female Grosbeak

 

 

We have never had one of these at our feeders. I took a lot of photographs and finally identified it. The male has a large reddish color on its chest but th female does not. There is a slight pink color showing on here breast feathers.  I suspect that it is actually migrating headed for Minnesota and Canada.

Peony Season Starts

 

Out of the Nest

 It is the time of the season to see the newly hatched mourning doves. The one on the right follows the other up to where there is seed in the feeder, When they are first out and about from the nest they will roost and watch not know what to do.

Feeding

 

Standing Guard

 The one robin stands guard on feeder near the nest in my house light. They do flutter at me if I try to use the door that is right next to the nest. I am hoping to see new birds in the nest soon.
