The mockingbird nest in the tomato plant now has baby birds!
The nest
A baby bird mouth waiting on mama
Here I am, mama! Feed me! Feed me!
Here's mama (or maybe daddy) but not feeding - getting ready to attack the photographer!
It is very hard to pick tomatoes when a bird is diving at your head.
There are a bunch of mockingbirds around my house. They love to attack my cats.
ReplyDeleteThat should be fun to watch the babies grow.
Hope you are wearing a hat when picking tomatoes. Mocking birds love to dive at hair.

What an amazing sight. Great photos. Mockingbirds can be terribly annoying, but I still enjoy them.
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys and the rest of the family.
Maybe you should buy a hard hat. :-) Our mockingbirds here have already raised two broods this summer. I hear those young ones screeching for their dinner all over our property---they are so loud! I love our mockingbirds, though, and how they sing in the darkness of night.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family...
We ended up with a birds nest in our potted flowers this year. It was fun seeing them hatch and how fast they grew!
