and then ...

Mom and Dad have been very busy. This is late, but not due to a lack of their enthusiasm!
These are not last year's pair, because they are so bashful and reluctant.  But they do know me and my call, and fly to the magnolia whenever I come outside.  We feel like, once the eggs hatch, their timidness will turn into something more like desperation for mealworms.  By the end of this post, you'll see why!

Meet Mom and Dad.

Mom

Here is their home, on the grape arbor, on the bayou side of the house.

Now, I'll show you how productive...or reproductive they have been!   Monday, March 21

And now, you can see how busy they will be!  Mom just started sitting on the nest, once all the eggs were in place.  We figure Yonge's Stop and Shop will be the happening place, with Bluebirds and Bourbon!
