The Sun, the Moon, and the Birds.

Here are some recent pictures from our yard. The first is a sunrise and the one below that is a full moon rise. The moon was full just a day or two ago. I don't know if it is because of the full moon or because it is just the time of year, but the Whip-poor-wills have been calling loud and long into the night, although we haven't seen any.
Speaking of birds, I hope to add some bird pictures in the near future. I just need to get the birds comfortable enough with me to get close enough for some better pictures. Coming to our backyard are: American Goldfinches (many), Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, Carolina Chickadees, Cowbirds, Doves, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Flickers, House Finches, Wren, Nuthatches, and probably a few more that I can't identify or can't remember. We see Turkeys regularly in the area, although not in the yard. Also, the first Hummingbird showed up at the feeder two days ago. Best of all...we have a Bluebird nesting in the nestbox in the backyard with two eggs so far. We have been feeding the Bluebirds mealworms and raisens on top of the nestbox. Stay tuned for regular Bluebird updates and hopefully pictures.
