And finally my pear tree is blooming. So sad it last such a short time.
From my pear tree I have some of my bird feeders hangings. I always liked this little sparrow with its red cap.
This year I hope to get something new. The death of my old plum tree. A woodpecker was pecking on it the other day. I didn't think much of it until later I noticed how much wood chips were on the ground.
Now woodpeckers don't usually pick a tree that is healthy to start a nest in. We have known this old tree was on its last legs. Fitting it will now be a home for these beautiful birds. Within 2 days the hole is so deep I can't see the bottom.
Of course I hope to get pictures of the babies. I will miss my old plum tree though. Time to plant some new ones. For now I will enjoy the smell of the fresh blossoms.

all wonderful pix, but i especially like the robin on her nest. so funny how they will peck at you after you have shared your porch. i know you hate to lose the plum tree, but it would be really exciting to watch all the babies. :)

Great pictures. That Woodpecker has really been busy. The Robin looks so cute sitting on that nest. Helen
Wow...they really peck at your head?? How dare they! Protecting their young is one thing but geez! lol
We have a little nest RIGHT over where we enter our house. They just fly away...they better not peck at ME!
Cute pics though.

Interesting about the Woodpeckers. Sorry about the plum tree, though. End of an era of sorts, huh?
Have a good night.
