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.
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 spring skips its turn."
