News From Our Li'l Wildlife Sanctuary ;)

Hope you're having a great spring. You don't want to hear how the house fix-up is going (trust me) so let's head outside. This iris is indigenous to our region of the country. It's called Southern Blue Flag.
Carolina Wrens nested in our fire thorn bush this year. Here's a li'l one fresh from the nest. They made such a racket at the window I had time to run outside and snap this photo of one on the window screen. They're clingers. :)

In other bird news a family of Carolina chickadees took over one of the bluebird houses again this year. (It's a virtual Carolina bird invasion...lol.)
It takes a minute to get up the courage to fly for the first time....

Especially with the chance that first landing might be a little rough...We're good though...here's lookin' at you.

Iris you were here.
