Thinks he is a peacock, so does the neighbors kid and bonus...bath time for a super hero


We have stopped all ground feeding to get the Turkeys to leave. They have scared the Orioles away from their jelly feeders a couple times now. Marta took these last Wednesday. I forgot about them. We are down to just a couple females that haven't given up on a meal yet.

Marta just took the robin bath pix below as I was starting this post. We had an inch of rain overnight. You would think that was enough to get all the birds clean.

Currently there is a tornado warning for the Lincoln, NE area.

Today we had a couple Blue Buntings show up. We have not posted any Hummingbirds yet. We don't want to scare the two we do have. There will be Orioles too. There are now enough of them they are fighting for the jelly feeders.
