May 2017

hopefully tomorrow I'll get a chance to take a picture of them. I don't want to scare them by approaching them for a picture so I'll have to wait for that opportune time

Be mowing tomorrow afternoon and when we mow they usually are close by eating the bugs that the mower kicks out. When they first started coming around years ago they'd be skittish of the mower but after a while when they figured out that I/we weren't trying to get them they settled down and now just move out of the way until we pass then they're after the bugs or fresh mowed grass or whatever they eat. Last year and now this year is the only two times that they've nested here.
