There is a pair of mourning doves that must have decided our yard is a friendly habitat, because they are building a nest on my bedroom window sill. I heard dove purring before I got out of bed this morning, and low and behold, we have new neighbors.

Our bird treat has attracted all sorts of birds to our backyard, mostly robins, of course, cardinals, and different varieties of finch. We are really hoping for a visit from a blue jay. I must get a bird guide so that we can identify the birds that live in this area. Atticus and Samuel really love to stand at our back window and watch the wildlife.

This is so cool! Blue Jays like sunflower seeds. A little more expensive than bird seed, but worth it to get jays.

I think we have a wood pecker by our house b/c in the morning we hear a knack, knock, knack, knock outside. I know it isn't construction, and I am wondering what else could make a sound like that in the mornings?
