When do Bluebirds leave their birdhouses for good? Is it when they fledge?
I keep seeing this little Bluebird sticking its head out of the hole looking around. I’m not sure if there are other little ones in there too. And maybe this is a different one each time. I think they fledged a couple of weeks ago.
So I wondered if Bluebirds go back to their bird house at night after they have fledged? And for how long? Does anyone know the answers to these questions? Everything that I have read says that Bluebirds do not go back to their nest or birdhouse once they have fledged.
I was at Fort Hill looking for some butterflies and wildflowers when I saw these two birds come out from the woods onto the trail. It was a good thing I had my camera out and ready because I only got one shot and this is it.
There used to be many Bobwhites in the state but they have dwindled over the years. There are still at least two at Fort Hill!
It was such a treat to see the beautiful Monarch butterflies flitting from flower to flower at Fort Hill. I had been waiting for them to come back from their long migration from Mexico.
The Monarch butterfly has often been called the most beautiful and majestic of butterflies and you can tell just by looking at its coloring and patterns. It feeds on Milkweed which Fort Hill has a lot to offer.
Have you seen a Monarch butterfly this year yet? Gorgeous, don’t you think?
Sunset over Newport Harbor on July 4th was just spectacular!
Our friends who have a home in Newport had invited us to Newport to watch the fireworks and to spend couple of days with them. It was such fun! We went sailing and swimming and walking the Cliff Walk and just enjoying Newport and their company immensely.
This photograph of the sunset sums it all up… just beautiful! I love all of the boats in the harbor all settled down for the night.
This was another gorgeous day to photograph Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, looking south toward Chatham. The lifeguard chairs are out and the beach looks pretty big for summer vacationers to enjoy. You can still see the roped off area for the Piping Plovers and Least Terns to nest.
Beautiful, don’t you think?
