I spent a good portion of my morning watching this through my kitchen window. The plant in the hanger is a Staghorn Fern and it seems like prime real estate!

That's so cute! Do you know what kind of birds they are?

We have robins nesting on top of the post of the veranda up front and mourning doves nesting in a tree at the back of the house. Maybe they like the orchids near by.

You might be creating a backyard habitat! Congrats Sue!

Hi Barbara
Looks like some sort of sparrow but the coloring seems wrong so I'll be doing some research...
by the way, they're back this morning!
Up close and personal...this plant is about 2 ft away from my window!

Tin, Spring Hill is part of Florida's Nature Coast with Florida Birding Trails all around us. We see many different birds flying through

Have you ever seen that show, backyard habitat, or something like that. It takes your backyard and turns it into a beautiful place for the owners to walk through and at the same time a habitat for wildlife, like birds, amphibians, fish, reptiles and even some mammals.

I was wondering if it could be some kind of wren with that upturned tail. Nothing like we have around here though.
