ABC Wednesday: Zoological Study

taken June 21

taken July 8

Son, granddaughter
and I were sitting, chatting
at my kitchen table
when I suddenly spotted
out my window
a nest in my
neighbor's tree!
Thrilled beyond measure,
I grabbed my Nikon
and started snapping.

Mother Robin scolds
because I dared to saunter
close to her nest! 


The day after I snapped photos
of the babies, I went outside trying to
get closer to the nest.
Momma Robin hopped
from place-to-place
on the roof and scolded
me aplenty till
I left the area.
I went

'bout squirrel-free feeder
foiled again!

The only way I can keep the squirrels
off the feeder is to slather
the pole with Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.
It had rained the day before
so I had not been out yet
to reapply the Vaseline.
But first I had to snap this photo,
then out I went to prevent
another visit.
