Bluebirds of Happiness (Patagonia, AZ)

This week has been busy at the Preserve.  I get the feeling that our quiet days are coming to an end.  The days will go faster, but I will miss our peaceful days of bird watching.

While sitting near the creek and watching a Black Phoebe, a couple of Western Bluebirds decided to get a drink.

Then another one joined them along with a Red Robin.  I did not see him until I viewed this photo on the computer.  You can just see his head in the lower left hand corner.

While taking the above photos, I started getting pelted from above.  I looked up to see more Robins.  I'm not sure if they were trying to send me a message or if all their movement on the branches were knocking stuff onto me.

I guess they decided it was safe enough to get a drink and soon there were 4 to 6 Robins in the creek.  Of course, I could not get all of them into one shot, but I tried to get as many as possible.  Too bad I could not tell them to get closer together for a group shot...

I wonder if this means Spring will be early this year...

Tree Spirits and Peacocks

Sometimes walking by myself in the woods, I wonder who all is watching me...Mr. Red Robin?

Are the two love birds...um I mean Ravens watching?

Sorry, did I interrupt your little rendezvous? 

Or maybe the flighty and rather nervous Bridle Titmouse....

.....he's says he is not nervous, its just part of his nature.

Mr. Squirrel is certainly keeping his eye on me while having his snack.

All are true keepers and spirits of the forest.

Tuesday's Treasuries

I'm feeling a little whimsical today if you could not tell.  So here's a couple of Treasuries I put together because I found the items to be so enchanting.  Enjoy!
