Baby Birds!

We have a bluebird hatchling! How funny looking! 

I don't have a good setup to watch them but when I see mama bird leave I sneak up and take a photo. A few days later it looked more like a bird than a peanut. 

And then there were two. Originally there were 5 eggs but it looks like only two hatched. It will be fun watching them grow!

The youtube channel is keeping me busy, along with redoing our yard . . . again. I can't seem to find the right combination here. But time spent in the yard is always enjoyable and even when it's hard work there are moments of compensation. Like the birdhouse we set up on our carport post. That seemed like only place to put it to keep it safe from snakes and feral cats. 

This is the fourth year that a pair of bluebirds have used it but they still dart out if I walk by. Today when mama bird left I stuck my phone camera up and got this:

How precious!

Florida problems

This is what happens when you pour frying grease into a bag and put it in the garbage overnight but the local bear decides he wants it.  This morning Randy found a greasy mess on our driveway and cleaned it up before I woke up. All that was left were some greasy bear paw prints.
