For the Birds

We've solved the tomato mystery. I opened the back door the other day, just in time to see an explosion of birds from my tomato plants! We covered the cages with mesh (like we use on the blueberry plants). My tomatoes are now ripening unmolested. So far we've only had some red grape tomatoes and yellow pear tomatoes. There are many, many green tomatoes on the others. Looking forward to tomato sandwiches and homemade gravy!

The bluebirds are incubating their new clutch of four. We're keeping track of number of eggs, hatching, fledging, etc., this time.

The robins nesting on the rain gutter are feeding three babies. They're big enough for us to see them from below (and from our living room).
