Love is In The Air

Song - When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along by Bing Crosby


California is finally getting some rain and the creek in our backyard roared all night long.  It's a good sound to hear as we have had too many years of drought.  When I woke up on Valentines day and looked out at our empty vegetable garden, I spotted these two love birds trying to decide if they should go out on a date.........







......or not.





And just yesterday I spotted a Robin in our Privet berries.......but look who is beneath him......a Cedar Waxwing.





Before I knew it the trees were full of Waxwings and Robins.






They were very good about taking turns eating as some of them 
would wait in this Oak tree on the other side of our yard and then when it was their turn, 
they would dive right into that clump of berries. It kinda felt like I was in that Hitchcock movie with birds multiplying by the second!







Their break consisted in getting a drink of water to wash down all the berries 
and then wait in a nearby tree.






"No winter lasts forever; 
no spring skips its turn."
