Birds in the Backyard

If you like birds and you're providing them with a birdhouse of trees or bushes and water, be prepared to attract plenty of birds tom your yard.

Sometimes you walk outside and find a nest with baby birds like this one my friend found right outside her door. 

These are baby robins and it will be fun watching them grow. I have a bird house right outside my back door and we get baby birds 3 or 4 times a year. I was lucky one time to be watching as a baby bird flew for the first time. It's fun watching the birds feed them as well.




I came across this baby blue jay one time while doing some work in the yard. I had to keep the dog away from it for a few hours but it eventually was able to leave.

I like watching the birds taking a bath in one of the ponds. It's easier than having a bird bath because I don't have to add water regularly. There have been ducks visiting the pond as well. There use to be a male and female duck every spring. They would stay for a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately once we got a dog, they stopped coming.

Be prepared for critters to visit your yard. If you have a garden, you'll need to set up some fencing to keep them out of it.
