It's the end of May, and the baby bluebirds have hatched. Mother and Father are diligent in their care of the hatchlings, but we fear for their lives, since Hobbes has discovered the nesting box.
We have a two yr. old immature Bald Eagle that is hanging around. Bruce read that it takes Bald Eagles 4-5 yrs. to gain the plummage we associate with our Nation's bird.
This one has started getting a yellow beak, and white on his stomach and wings- a sure sign that he's a 2 yr. old.
Ferns are popping out all over, and
grass is green and thick.
We have several lovely Whitetail bucks around, as well as Mule deer.
They haven't quite "slicked off" yet, so they look at bit raggy.
I always want to just go up to them with a brush. :)
The Hummers are back
and the wildflowers are beginning to bloom
along with the flowering trees
Spring is beautiful in Montana!
and so very welcome ;)
Great shot of the Hummer! It is SO beautiful around your place. It is such a wonderland...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Meredith. I always loved it there. So much beauty and peace.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I look at and read your blog I want to move. Anyone can see why you love it there. You & Bruce were born to be together. You guys compliment each other.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you both
