Nature’s Nursery

We’ve had a great spring for wildlife.  Here’s a pic of our recently flown Eastern Phoebe chicks while still in the nest.

Their nest is on a light in the barn–the same space we spent weeks modifying this spring.  These guys put up with hammering, measuring, and even an air compressor.  That’s loud!

I think this fledgling is apartment hunting for somewhere quieter.

And below is a catch of tadpoles who’ve enjoyed their stay in our luxury spa a la flower bed and converted milk jug.  One of them is almost a grown-up toad, ready to go out into the world and seek his fortune.

And this little guy has successfully completed his metamorphesis, but seems to be having second thoughts.  Sound like a recent graduate you may know?
