I am very sorry for my absence during the month of April and into May but let me just say that simple headaches turned out to be a brain bleed that required surgery, a hospital stay and now recovery, so I did not really find a lot of time or energy to sit on the computer. I am thankfully feeling a lot better but I still have a bit of a rocky road ahead of me before I will be 100 % again.

In the meantime, spring has gone into full force here, and everything looks lush and blooming, which reminds me why I love spring and May so much but also makes me sad because I cannot do all I want right now. But here’s some good news - we have active Bluebird and Chickadee nests right now. It will be a bit before I can get into doing photos again, it just takes too much energy right now to sort and edit them, but thankfully I also have my other various cams that provide me with material. If you are on social media, feel free to follow me there too, it is much easier for me to post there via phone than on the computer, currently.

Here are both the current nests. The Chickadee’s was made with moss, soft grasses and fur. She started laying before I knew it and concealed the eggs well from sight. As soon as I saw them, I made sure to add a wren guard to the box. The House Wrens have returned now too, sending shivers down my spine with every trill they make, and I hope things work out just as well as last year in keeping the babies safe.

The other nest is the Bluebird, she just started building about two days ago, but I think she may be ready to lay tomorrow or Monday. Then she will also get a Wren guard. Enjoy the wonderful weather!
