Spring Frenzy

It is nesting time here in the Prairies.

It is especially crazy here in my back yard in Saskatchewan.

We have several pine trees that are upwards of 40ft tall,

lots of space for a nest you would think.

I don't know what the bird criteria is for a good nesting spot

but it is evidently the strongest in one of our 8 backyard trees.

There are bird fights galore. Lots of noise and activity.

In one tree we have 3 types of birds all building nests

A pair of Robins, Grackles(yuk!) and Mourning Doves

have all started to build.

We have other birds in other trees like a pair of Northern Flickers in one,

(Very exciting to us)

but that tree remains the most popular.

Kind of interesting.
