Chickadee

Morning Planting

Was up early this morning to enjoy the sunshine, and get the rest of the pansies planted before heading out for some exploration of the outer Cape with Mom and Dad. It was only 45, but still a beautiful quiet piece of morning.

No sooner had I finished planting and watering, and filling this little birdbath, then a chickadee had bathed and flew quickly up into the tree overhead to dry his wings in the warming morning sun.

An Easter bouquet.

Little Friends

There's a pair of chickadees nesting in the birdhouse near the garden. They've been keeping a very close eye on me as I've begun working out there, identifying what's growing there, and figuring out how to lay out beds. The dead tree stump in the first garden bed has been very popular, as they dig in there for bugs and stuff. They've hollowed it out about six inches down, so they can now disappear completely inside.
