Fishtail Cottage Blooming Spring…

See here? A little bird has taken up residence here at Fishtail Cottage.  I am just so excited!!! No idea what type of bird this is, any guesses…?

Well, I am just excited to share with you that Spring has officially arrived, & proof to see a bird nesting in a birdhouse here! Just have to giggle that the “chosen home” (in my opinion) isn’t the best one available…but it is what they chose!

I try very hard to make my home a bird sanctuary…so that I will have constant visitors!  To make my feathered friends happy, I give food options.

I’ve got a pondless waterfall for easy bathing and fresh cold water throughout the year.

Several bird baths are available for use throughout the garden if running water isn’t favored…

 

 

So what else is blooming here this week at Fishtail Cottage

Are you having more sun than we are? Your garden sure looks more springy than around here!

I love your little bird friend.

We had a momma and a poppa robin live in our yard..until our darn cat ate one...I have never felt guilt like that ever for a little creature!
Cannot wait for the peonies!! Mine have buds just waiting :)

We haven't had a lot of birds this spring except for hummingbirds. We've seen a lot more than in past years... maybe it's the cool rainy weather. We have 2 feeders right outside the window by the computer. There's two of them "fighting" for the feeders right now.


Thanks again for hosting "the party"!

Beautiful images!

I'll be joining the party this week, hopefully. Thanks so much for hosting.:-)
Looks like a Bewick's Wren, they started several nests in birdhouses but moved on. I notice two pairs of Chickadees in a couple birdhouses here. Your flowers look so pretty! Your lilacs are ahead of mine.

Everything looks so beautiful!! I have set up a little bird haven as well and need to pick up a couple more feeders. I love your pondless waterfall, so pretty and soothing. I saw an Indigo Bunting last night and was so excited!! (at least I think that that is what it was)
Enjoy your beautiful garden!!

Hi Tami! I agree - I think it's type of wren due to the way she's holding her tail. Love your bird-heaven! We've got tons of goldfinches here partying with the Baltimore Orioles, hummingbirds, chickadees, and bluebirds. We could watch them all evening long out on our deck. :) Your garden is so pretty and colorful! ♥

Hi Tracie,
your garden seem a true paradise for birds. And the birdhouse is so beautiful in its natural colors. I know why the little bird will nest their. I would too, as I would be a bird.
Best greetings, Johanna

It is so much fun when the birdies finally use one of the nesting boxes. Your gardens look very inviting.
How exciting...I have never had a bird use any of my birdhouses; it must be fun to see.

Your garden is looking lovely. You put together an amazing mosiac ~ very, very pretty.

Oh my goodness Tracie - you have so many pretties now. I love that you are mindful of the birds and mentioned making your gardens a haven for the feathered ones. I am thinking more and more about that too. I want to create that kind of place too. Hope you are having a great day.

Tracie, What a beautiful yard you have! If I put bird seed out rats come and make nests. So I don't.
I think you bird friend chose a perfect home. It's lovely.
Enjoy your spring weekend!

Wonderful visit to the garden! Yes, its a little wren of some kind... they always grab the houses first. In my previous house I had several and it was wonderful how the babies would stick their heads out of the house and watch us, and scold.
Very pretty Tracie! :) Hope you are having a wonderful weekend~ Hugs,Rachel
