Friday, 9:30 AM. 67 degrees, wind W, calm, cannel calm. Skies are partly cloudy, and the barometer predicts rain.
Dutch, Leslie and baby arrived yesterday from Texas, and we are all involved with family activities.
The birdhouse on the porch housing the wren family has been chaotic, several fledglings out of the next and flitting about, but evidently more are still in the nest, as the parents are still bringing bugs. We all watched two nestlings “earn their wings” yesterday afternoon. They were very tentative, jumping in and out of the nest many times before actually flying unsurely about the porch and environs. I can empathize with the parent birds, as I am spending a great deal of time feeding our own offspring, all together in the nest again.
