Flushed two young doves near the garden for the fourth time earlier & just checked , they’re on the ground in the same area where they feel safe . Read up on it & apparently they stay under the watch of mom & dad for a month . Wrens & Bluebirds were busy feeding the young & cleaning the nests by removing fecal sacs ( baby poo in bags ) . Both species going into the rasp / black / blueberries often for insects . Also had orioles , finches & a hummingbird or 2 pass thru the garden . 🦌
Lots of activity in & around the garden area today for a variety of birds . Enjoyed the show with the camera for awhile . Pair of bluebirds were busy feeding young ones in one of the 4 bird houses . Another house was very busy with wrens feeding their future birds , every time one of the parents went inside with chow for the babies they were very vocal & as soon as the parent left dead silent . Startled a pair of young doves in the corral area where we keep garden tools , recently out of the nest they flew about 10’ into a nearby tree , within an hour mom dove had them back in the corall probably short term safety from any predators . In the lean-to near the garden the robins have a nest & are busy finding worms . Meanwhile at the birdfeeders another variety from grosbeaks , finches , blue jay , pair of cardinals to a red wing black bird or 2 . 🦌
