Wow, can it be June already? We've been here almost a month and, boy, has it flown by. Everything seems centered around the outdoors now. The bird report (yes, I know, it's a new thing) is as follows: one pair of Orioles is still here (the other left while we went to Colo Springs) and yesterday I watched the female try and pull pieces off our ropes that are staking the larger aspen trees.(Nesting here?) Those two seem to want to do everything the easy way...
A bluebird couple is definitely making a nest nearby. The female has been seen with nesting material in her mouth on the deck a number of times. Not so for the male - he doesn't participate? Hmmm...anyway, the female is a bit on the dense side as well. For days she has been banging into our window and we can't seem to scare her away.
Mountains of hummingbirds around, although we are confusing them just a bit. We're restaining the deck and moving the feeders out of the way temporarily. And by the way, the deck staining is NOT a fun job as it turns out.
Before that project got started I would sit in the chair (see pic) with my coffee in the morning. Ah, bliss...
Mark saw a newly born shaky legged baby elk with it's mama yesterday and I sadly was not with him. Since I have absconded with his camera, he didn't have that either. I will hope for other sightings - June is the month!
What a sight when we were walking yesterday -a deer with a radio collar. First time we've seen that - somebody's tracking her - a biologist?
