This & That At Country Cove

                   

Yesterday was a  strange day weather wise , warm one minuet chilly the next then cloud and sun on and off all day . The sun has just risen and it is cold out the temps dropped down freezing last night . I have lost most of my Daffodils and my Hyacinths don't look to good either !

But on the plus side I got my camera batteries charged and am locked a loaded to take photos again and that I did !

                    Mrs Robins nest tucked deep in our cedar hedges by our driveway !

I tried to get a photo of her in the nest but she wasn't having any of that so I took photos of her as she was telling me off for being to close to her nest !DSC_6321

                                            Click on photos to enlarge if you please !

Then I snuck over by my potting shed peeking around the corner with just the lens sticking out and realized the Baltimore Oriole  was in the bowl on the stump !

            He seems to like the peanuts better then the nectar I have out for him !

                        He was watching me the entire time !

                             Then Baltimore flew off and Chippy got in the action !

                       Mr & Mrs Dovey out for a stroll to see what's going on !

       Last but not least ground flock in our front garden I am glad some plants have survived the drop in temps at night ! Hopefully soon the temps will be warmer at night like they should be as we are approaching May !

                   Until next time hope you all have a great day !

Cool pictures, glad you got your battery charged. I will try peanuts, expecting the hummers and orioles in the next few weeks.

Lovely photos! I enjoyed your Robin and Oriole photos. Those are two birds we don't have around here so it was nice to get a good look at them through your lens.

Have a great day!

Beautiful pictures sweetie, somehow we missed the beautiful Baltimore Orioles this year...we usually have then a couple weeks before they move on.

Fantastic pictures but I'm smitten with that sweet little glutenous chippy!!! Precious!

Poor Pepper Nipper isn't chasin' anything today...she had a tubal ligation yesterday. The incision is much longer than I anticipated.
She's kinda sore!

God bless ya sweetie and have yourself a beautiful weekend!!! :o)

We had cool stormy weather yesterday, too. The sky stayed very dark all day but today the sun is shunning and is a beautiful day. I enjoyed your photos of your sweet dog and the pretty birds. There is so much to enjoy outside in nature. Hope your plants are fine after the cold snap.-------Shannon

That Oriole is gorgeous!! I hardly ever see them here, just an hour north of Baltimore.
