Not an Easter Egg Hunt, but just a check of all my bird nests since I have been gone for several days. This morning I took a trip around the yard to check on them all. Mrs. Robin is still sitting on her nest. I did get to see Mr. Robin egg sit for a few minutes while mom went to get some food. The robins normally always eat off the ground and never go to the bird feeders themselves – they often eat off of the ground underneath. Today one of them was eating from the suet block on my feeder pole.
Next a check of the bluebird nest. Still 5 eggs just like the last time I checked so she is done. Here is a photo of a bluebird at my mom’s house in her Dogwood Tree. 
Next a check of the chickadee nest. I knocked and noone flew out – I opened the side of the house and there was mom sitting inside. She promptly flew out. So I decided to look further to see how many eggs I could see. I had to look through the top of the house since they are tucked in the corner. I could see 5 eggs. The chickadees normally have 5-7 and there could have been another one or two that I couldn’t see. So all seems well at the chickadee household.
Next a peek out front at the Towhee. Mom was sitting quiet and still on her nest. She did not fly out so I couldn’t get a check of her eggs. She is well hidden in the bush and I’m glad to see her there. I’m still worried that a cat will find her.
I had many other birds around the yard this morning. Including the Cedar Waxwing’s again. Still eating the pink flowers on the pom-pom tree. I was 
able to get a great picture of a female Red-Bellied Woodpecker trying to get peanuts from the peanut feeder. In this picture you can see the red on her belly! The male has a red crown where she has gray. And look at how she uses her tail for balancing herself on the bottom of the feeder.
I am loading some pictures of a scrapbook page from my scrapbook class last month. And will post those later today.
Have a great day!
