Around the yard

 I am linking up with   Our World Tuesday

Happy  Mother's Day! I hope you all are having a great day!

These are some of the scenes from our weekend walk on the fireroad to our lake early Saturday morning. And some shots from around the yard.

 A few geese came near Goldie Girl, a wild White Dogwood tree and we saw lots of ferns.... the forest floor was covered with beautiful ferns. It rained Friday night and after a rain everything green looks a darker color green.

 I checked out a small creek that leads into the lake, I thought I might see some birds there.  The geese and our resident GB herons were at the nest...they were the only birds I actually could see. I did hear a lot of birds calling and singing like the Ovenbirds, Northern Parula and Wood Thrush. I also heard the Barred Owl's call "Who cook for you" .  There were some pretty wild pink azaleas growing off the fireroad.

 I have been putting Goldie Girl's hair out in a old suet feeder for the birds to use in their nest. It seems like this Tufted Titmouse  really likes Goldie Girl's hair. The Titmouse had a mouthful of hair. This was the second time I filled up the feeder with more hair. It is a good thing that Goldie Girl sheds a lot of hair. Also seen above are some of my yardbirds like the House Wren coming out of the birdhouse, Carlina Wren, the Titmouse, House Finches with a Downy Woodpecker and WB Nuthatch.

I hope you enjoyed our walk around the yard and to the lake. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
