The Elderberry Tree


One of our Elderberry Trees has been the place to be seen this weekend. As I showed you in the last post the Nutmeg Mannikin made a visit. Thanks to Katie, I know this birds name, and that he is, as I suspected, an exotic bird here in FL.

I tried getting a picture of the Mockingbirds feeding their "little" one. It was amusing watching a bird bigger than his parents, waiting with open mouth to be fed. He had a habbit of perching in an area in front of the sun.

All weekend the Red-bellied Woodpecker has been visiting the tree. As you can see he's a shy thing.

One visiter to the back yard wasn't a bird, but another dragonfly. Yes you are stuck looking at another dragonfly.
