<\/a>Here is a picture of the snoozing baby Bluebirds. I find them very cute in a ugly sort of way. I showed them to one of my neighbors and he said he thinks he heard a snore.<\/p>\nI have signed up to monitor this nest box at Nestwatch.org<\/a>. Mom and dad Bluebird are very tolerant about me quickly checking on the nest box in the afternoons and usually return right away to their young when I leave. They’ve been so tolerant that this is their second brood in this nest box for the year.<\/p>\n The second picture is of a friendly neighborhood frog who wanted to check out what we were up to – IN OUR LIVING ROOM.\u00a0 Last Thursday evening it was raining pretty heavily and I had opened the front door to check out the downpour – since it’s such a rare occurrence here. After closing the door and settling down for an evening of mindless TV, Dick suddenly jumped up saying: “Get the glass!” His voice was at a slightly higher pitch which usually means: “Watch out – a freaking scorpion!” I jumped up and we took a closer look. And there, making his way past the fireplace on his way to the back doors was a Strecker’s Chorus frog. You could almost hear him saying: “Excuse me – just passing through. What y’all watching?” Hilarious. A frog in the living room.\u00a0 Isn’t he cute though? He must have snuck in while I had opened the front door.<\/p>\n Anyway, I scooped him up in a glass since I did not know what type of frog he was at the time. (Some toads in Texas have poisonous glands on their skin which causes skin irritation.) I said ‘hi’ – took my picture and then set him free out back near my little container pond.<\/p>\n The next evening we were sitting outside on the back patio watching the sun set when we\u00a0 heard the sharp buzzing trill of a Green Toad coming from the little pond. I guess he has the company of other frogs out there.\u00a0 Well there it is – more wildlife adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have a nesting pair of Eastern Bluebirds in the back of my property.
