HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a serene, peaceful week.
My only news is that the male Eastern Kingbird arrived this evening, completing his migration all the way from South America. He is very early this year. Some of you may remember the year the Kingbirds got into my garage and nested there, wildly attacking me every time I sought my lawn mower. Lol They are bold, brave, and extremely aggressive birds.
Tonight, he landed briefly on my porch window screen and gave me a long look, then he flew around the house to his old nest site. Over the last 3 or 4 years, the male and I have established a detente. They nest in a big fallen tree in my back garden, and I leave them alone. Lol These days, his aggression is mild and more ceremonial than dangerous. Lol I'm very glad he made it back!
Enjoy your week, all.
We have stayed up late to watch the final episodes of a TV version of War & Peace (from 2016) which I brought with me on DVD.
Seeing the senseless deaths & pointless war seemed to remind us of something nearer to home: the Ukraine war which is still raging.
Good morning DIANE and thank you for our start and your Kingbird news.
More news from LINDA. Aren’t you meant to be on holiday. . . not chatting to us? <big grin> Ignore me, I am enjoying your pics and descriptions of yet another place I shall never see.
Next Sunday our clocks change from daylight saving. A lovely cool day here, light rain. Yeay, love it. Over the last few days I have been hearing lots of lorikeets or rosellas in the nearby trees. I have not seen any to identify which.
Kind regards, Ann
Hallo all: Bird news from this part of the world involves a killdeer that landed on a high school football field and has so far laid four eggs. Not sure if you can access the video; if you do, you have to put up with some stupid ads first. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/video/huntington-beach-high-school-protects-killdeer-bird-eggs-on-school-track/
Diane: Thank you! Interesting that your latest visitor is so early. Maybe that tree is primo real estate in his book and he's determined not to lose out. :-)
Lindybird: I can imagine the sunshine is a big draw, but I think I'd need more greenery.
Have a good Sunday everyone.
A wonderful post Diane, thank you. Congrats on your detente with the kingbird. I'll leave others to report on all the returned Ospreys
