I was going to say the same thing Jane did. Your garden looks beautiful.

The Hooded Oriole is the brightest bird we have here but, yes, he appears camera shy. Our blue scrub jays are also pretty but, for some reason, they seem to steer clear of the fountain.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-78023111398291529482014-06-23T10:13:29.584-07:002014-06-23T10:13:29.584-07:00These pictures were pure luck.

In addition to adding structure to the garden, the birds love it. Unfortunately, the raccoons do too - they regularly remove the shells in the top tier, looking for who know's what.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-72037902830691798192014-06-23T10:08:04.697-07:002014-06-23T10:08:04.697-07:00Thanks, Dewberry!Thanks, Dewberry!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-21196898448329115672014-06-23T10:04:27.843-07:002014-06-23T10:04:27.843-07:00The birds add another - very wonderful - dimension...The birds add another - very wonderful - dimension to the garden, Mark & Gaz.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-90304585746370299112014-06-23T10:03:36.152-07:002014-06-23T10:03:36.152-07:00Thanks for the ID, Jane.
