Bird sex and cocktails

Howdee all,

Our last night in Ohio we were invited for cocktails and dinner at friends Hugh and Judy's home.

Hugh and Judy have a lovely garden and pond.

I thought my Sickstas would enjoy these photos and maybe Craigy might get a few ideas on how to make a waterfall.

The waterfall

A rock that water flows from..

A water spouting critter

Just one of the cool pieces of garden art

Hugh and Judy have nest boxes and feeders all over their property..

What a great home for birds!

No I didn’t forget about the title of my post ..and it wasn’t just a catchy title to get you here..

We really did have Cocktails..

 

And while we did we did have quite the show..

Ms. Tree Swallow waits for more..

He came back another six or seven times

I lost count..you would think they would take the whole thing indoors..

After dinner we took a walk around the park

Spotted Sandpiper all spotty..

Greylag Goose with Canada Goose

Wow..I think they adopted a few

  geese 'creches' - where the offspring of different parents get mixed up - are fairly common

Kildeer…It was acting as though there might be a nest nearby.

I just thought this looked cool…

Judy said this is part of an old trailer.

Thanks Hugh and Judy for a lovely evening.

Thanks Hugh and Judy for your warm hospitality!

Until we meet again.
