That is so beautifully written Chris. I love who you have become and I just want to give your mom a great big hug!

Thank you Misty! I enjoy sharing myself with you all.

I love humming birds we only get the Ruby throated here but they are so magnificent, I love to sit outside in summer an watch them zoom around. I'll have to check out the time lapsed nest building.

Here ya go. There are a few more longer ones on youtube, but this one has some neat info.

That is really cool looking. It looks like something my mom would enjoy making.

You need to check out this guys page. It's where I got the idea, but you can use any water source. He even did one with rain water and it indeed had life in it. It so easy I can't figure out why my windows are not lined with them already.

I had quite the week, I thought a predator was trying to claw their way to the coops but the muscovies have been picking off the wood!! Very cute guys

Whew! I'm glad you are not having predator issues. I am sadly, got coon problems. 2 birds snatched over the last 2 weeks, and yesterday I had one stalking my birds in broad day light. I ordered some traps last night after finding one snooping around the turkey pin.

They don't have to go home, but they sure are not staying here!

I have 4 Muscovy drakes, 8 Muscovy hens, 3 Khaki Campbell drakes, and 15 Khaki Campbell hens.
Only 30 total... Which is not that many, right?

Lol, you say that now. I want to hear your count come next May.

Those dang coons! I had a coon issue once but they are dead now . But we have hawk problems, our chickens like being in the field more than the woods so anytime their is a hawk they hide under the coop in the woods

Don't worry you're not TO crazy . I'm adding 10 ducks this spring sooooooooooo 15 ducks by next year .

Spoken like a true QUACK!

I'm growing onto birds, I really want quail and eventually a peacock and peahen...maybe some pheasants

One of the quail ladies tried to "attack" me this mornig. It wasn't the normal bite at my ring, but at my actual hand. I was pretty surprised to be honest. It didn't hurt or anything, it's just that they are so small, but clearly not scared lol.

Dang little guys, my dad and his dad raised 200 bobwhite quail and I found them awefully adorable.
