Nice, Lisa. I like Mourning Dove,too. Sorta off topic, but I saw a cardinal feeding a little brown bump of something in the orchard yesterday. I was walking my little senior pup and the cat always has to come with us. Well, I hurried ahead and scooped up the baby cardinal and placed he/she in the tall grass before Kitty spotted it. The baby made a big fuss and spread its wings to try and scare me, I felt bad. The adult hovered nearby so I'm sure it knew where it was.

That's it! Agapanthus! I have one that I bought and planted last fall but have no idea of the color. I was surprised that mine survived our winter, but it sure looks healthy now. I wonder if the band Jethro Tull chose that name because of the agriculturalist?

How adorable! Fledglings always look so raggedy and have trouble grasping perches with their toes-the "flat-footed" look

Love your blues - mine have already dispersed and no longer come to the mealworm dish when I whistle. I miss them a lot! Congrats on your new yardbird. I had species #65 in my yard this year, a great crested flycatcher, but wasn't able to get a photo! I'm hoping fall migration brings a few more new visitors. -- Liz in MN Check out my online photo gallery and backyard feedercam
