Yesterday I saw a female gathering nesting material! I think they will stay for the summer.<BR/>I will see if I can find where she is nesting.<BR/>Can't wait for Tanager photos.<BR/>How very fun the birds are. I would sit on your front porch too!<BR/>Lovely spot.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-18509169765181601972007-05-18T23:31:00.000-04:002007-05-18T23:31:00.000-04:00My, what a handsome porch ( and cat too) !!

What better to see than a handsome Tanager couple and their nest made of beige scraps intended for the Oriole ,now departed and bringing joy -- I hope-- to persons unknown ?<BR/><BR/>Do you suppose that if offering nesting scraps are orange -- we would have the stunning sight of a red and black bird perched near an olive mate sitting on an orange nest ? We may never know.<BR/><BR/>May 18, 2007 8:22 PMcestoadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653689058424312225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-82021309816815280582007-05-18T23:02:00.000-04:002007-05-18T23:02:00.000-04:00I love the cat lazing on the porch--perfect way to...I love the cat lazing on the porch--perfect way to spend a day.<BR/>I look forward to more updates on nesting sites.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-56686917654293856022007-05-18T21:50:00.000-04:002007-05-18T21:50:00.000-04:00Susan, you're right.

Maple, sycamore and the closest to the road is another maple--sort of stunted because the power line access cuts an ugly swath right through the center every other year! Errgh<BR/>Annie's our diabetic kitty--a stray kitten, 15 years ago, she can no longer be let out. (don't want to lose her and risk coma)<BR/>So, the porch is her favorite place to hang out--she can get all the outside she craves and we'll never lose her!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-12827420353639816672007-05-18T21:19:00.000-04:002007-05-18T21:19:00.000-04:00Forgot....I think that cat is the fattest cat I ha...Forgot....<BR/>I think that cat is the fattest cat I have ever seen.

A maple, a sycamore, and what's the last one?<BR/>Your sycamore has a killer hole in it. Don't you love how a sycamore can almost split in two, and stay alive????<BR/>Ever see the big sycamore at Lake Isabella, by the canoe access? It's like a living cave.Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-12722083082965654992007-05-18T11:28:00.000-04:002007-05-18T11:28:00.000-04:00Lovely story Nina - beautiful photos.I applaud you...Lovely story Nina - beautiful photos.<BR/>I applaud your sweet hummingbird and your oriole.
