Thought you might enjoy a few more "yard blogging" pictures. Click for larger versions.
These guys aren't actually in our yard, although we have had similar scenes occur here. This was taken at a little man-made pond in an industrial area near us. A pair of Canada Geese and their goslings:
A robin has made a nest in a shrub just next to our front door. I first noticed because every time I came outside this robin would come screaming out of the shrub highly agitated. So I took a look inside and here's what I saw:
Here's a close-up of the nest with blue eggs visible. Don't worry, I'm not touching the eggs or nest.
Here's a shot of the robin actually sitting on the nest. Yes, we can see the bird and nest looking out one of our living-room windows. This is taken through the window, screen and blinds without a flash. If I try to get a shot from outside, she takes off screaming, of course, so this is about the best I could do for the moment. Saw her chase a squirrel away the other day which was pretty entertaining.
I'll try to update on the robin as things "develop."
Finally, here are my rabbits. Kiss, kiss. (They're both fixed, though.)
