birdies

Two birding events today:

I was in the treehouse today and checking out my little feathered friends in their nest. I had to stand on tip-toe to see them and I overbalanced, falling toward the nest. Suddenly three birdies flew out and perched in the tree near the tree house. I guess this means they are fledged! I didn't think they were. I'm so glad that they have survived to this stage.

While driving home this evening we were priviledged to see a male peacock walking by the side of the road! It was certainly a surprise. I'm sure that he must live somewhere in the neighborhood what a lovely treat it was to see him though.
