Signs of Spring - Woodland Plants and New Born Birds

We live in a quiet neighborhood on a small slice of heaven. A portion of our property is wooded and filled with beautiful gifts from nature. Here are few of those gifts that we happily invite into our outdoor living area.

The Chickadees love our Dogwood tree all season long.

Something so pretty, but such a bully to the other birds!
