New Arrivals – Tree Swallow Chicks
This nest box was used already once this Spring by a pair of Tree Swallows, and as time flew by and we were busy with other commitments, the eggs we had discovered hatched and fledged before I could get out to observe them! This… Continue Reading “New Arrivals – Tree Swallow Chicks”
A Saturday Evening Drive
We took a drive in the golf cart around the farm last evening. The hay was recently cut which makes traveling about much easier. The sun was low, as it was well past 6:00 PM, but I took my camera just in case we… Continue Reading “A Saturday Evening Drive”
Bluebird Babies
On May 30, 2020 the Eastern Bluebird pair that was occupying the white nest box on the south side of my office patio completed the mission of fledging their chicks. I had been filming them since they were apartment shopping for just the right… Continue Reading “Bluebird Babies”
Turf wars
A friend saw photos I posted of a Bluebird pair that is nesting in a box we put up in the back yard and she said, “I’ve had a Bluebird box in my yard for years, but all we ever get are House Sparrows.”… Continue Reading “Turf wars”

Singing Like A Lark
When you set up a Trail Cam, you never know what you might capture. This camera was focused on a Bluebird nest, but apparently an Eastern Meadowlark wanted to sing to the chicks inside.
Holy Crap!
I could title this short video as “Holy S*it,” “Great Mother,” “Tidy House,” or “Nose to Tail.” Regardless of how you see it, this is something you won’t be able to “un-see.”
Let’s Do It Again!
Tree Swallows are in the front yard box, again. This is the box that I posted about here: tammierogers.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/kids-helping-their-parents/ Back in April, we knew there were four eggs in the box, and I am fairly certain I observed the parents taking food into the… Continue Reading “Let’s Do It Again!”
Barn Swallows!!
We have always had Barn Swallows around, including those that made nests in our actual barn! Go figure. They also made nests under the eaves of our old house, our training building and here at our new house. But, the nests have never been… Continue Reading “Barn Swallows!!”
