The weather has been gorgeous , so the birds have been visiting a lot. While working on the computer the other day I saw a big black bird checking out this bird hotel. Laughing it him cause I think he must be desperate if he thinks he can check in here.You see every year I lease this Hotel to the sparrows. They stay all spring and summer.
The Sparrows must have been close by because shortly after the black bird left two came by. Landing on the hotel and started to work.They never left the hotel vacant, always about three around. However one guard was posted on the hotel at all times.
Then not too long afterward came the expecting Mother.Does she look ready or what?
Of course a guard is still post.

Sparrows are such fun birds to watch, they visit the bird feeders on my patio every day! Your hotel looks very pretty, no wonder they like it!
ReplyDeleteHey Auntie E: Those birds are ready for spring! Great capture. Would look great in black and white too (then you could use it for monochrome weekend)!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.

Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, yes spring is there and couples are looking for hotel rooms, lol !
ReplyDeletenice shot!
ReplyDeleteI just love this time of year when the birds begin to build their nests! I'm waiting for the return of "my" wrens! They come each year usually in April and it's such fun to watch them (oh, and hear them too)! Love your pics! Coralie
ReplyDeleteblackbirds are such a pain aren't they?? I suppose they need homes as well.
ReplyDeleteBTW the red sticks in my ruby post are the poles to buoys. Fishermen use them to mark the spots in the water where they have set traps or nets.
What a lovely Ruby Tuesday post - what a lovely blog you have! Look forward to *seeing* you again sometime too!
ReplyDeleteXOXO LOLA:)

ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday
How nice of you to be putting up a bird's hotel like that. I love this post very much, Auntie E.
ReplyDeleteGreat name for your birdhouse. One of the things I hated most about our recent move was leaving behind two well established bird "hotels." they can be so much fun to watch over.
ReplyDeleteGuess, I need to shop for something special and get it hung soon so we do not miss the season.
love photos!and a great blog....thanks for the visit and hope you come back again...thanks
