The Cry of a Bluejay …
I am sad … so sad … A neighbor cut down major trees in his natural conservation buffers - against the covenants and restrictions of my community. But I shall not rant about that … it’s too late …
A distraught bluejay high up in the trees lining my driveway was watching the devastation and calling for help. Her nest was in one of those huge trees that were felled in an instant. There was no denying her plaintive cry. My heart hurts for her …
How many other nests were destroyed today? How many baby squirrels and baby birds died simply because some imbecile decided to destroy protected habitat simply because he didn’t like the way old trees look?
Some days, I don’t much like people …
Oh, no! He’s polyamorous!!! on Flickr.
My male pheasant is sure going to be tired!!!! … Although, I suspect, pleasantly - for this pheasant :)
A Gift from the Garden Fairies … on Flickr.
Mr. and Mrs. Pheasant ~ look hard … she’s in the back … to the left of the feeder.
I was devasted a few weeks ago when a careless speeding driver senselessly killed my resident male pheasant.
But my garden fairies - nurtured in a wildlife garden that is planted natively and free of chemicals - always send me the most precious gifts … This time a new pair of pheasants who will, hopefully, begin their mating season in my natural conservation bufffers!
