Well, here's what's new. Our Western Mockingbird finally arrived last weekend. He spends time in our Mulberry tree eating berries and insects. I love hearing him sing out his repertoire. I've also seen a few more Mourning Doves around so I guess the babies are out of the nest. The Roadrunners have been very actively seeking living things for their babies. The bird alarms are heard most of the day now. Oh, I need to report that Rooster Cogburn has gone to that big barnyard in the sky. We had to have him put down because he just wasn't improving and we were spending way too much time just keeping him on life support. He has received a proper burial on the property. We miss him. Meanwhile, the hens are brooding again. They are so sneaky about it. By the time we find out and find the nest, it is already full of eggs! Gotta get a handle on this! Anyway, the Hummers are busy chasing each other and I guess there are babies somewhere, too. One month or so to the invasion of the Rufous! That's all I have to report this time.
