Bird stuff

A sight I had never seen before.  The male catbird fluffs out his feathers, points his beak to the sky and "dances" for the female.  He hops several times in one direction and then in the other.  It was great to watch this.

But the female didn't seem that impressed.

The first visitors, that I have seen on my new Viburnum, mating lady bug beetles.

The base is in place for the new bird blind.

While I was in the meadow this morning, the male bluebird was singing from several different perches.

But when I looked at the house, there was a tree swallow.

And this is what the birds are finding that is so yummy.  It fell on the road, but was soon gone.
