Stockton found this little bird under a tree. I guess he had been pushed out of the nest. Hopefully his mom is nearby watching over him. We think it’s a wren of some kind.

Well, I guess it’s official, as of a couple of weeks ago. In case you hadn’t heard, Cimarron and Courtney Marrs of Amarillo have embarked upon a courtship. We enjoyed having her and her sister, Mackenzie visit this weekend.

Carolina’s been under the weather all week. She’s able to do a little school, but after an hour of being up, she heads back to the couch and falls asleep again. I snapped these pictures of her as Rusty was offering a little moral support.

Tonight’s setting sun filled the whole sky with vibrant orange and yellow.

Our little finches are ready for new homes. We have three males and two females for sale. They’re starting to get their orange beaks and are eating on their own now. They’re only 10.00 each and make great pets.

Guess what we found in the finch cage this morning? The female, creamy, has begun to lay more eggs. Needless to say, we don’t want her to hatch out any more birds right now. So, we took the egg away. Her six fledglings are growing rapidly and eating on their own. If you’re interesting in getting a pair of zebra finch, use the contact form to let us know.

This morning started out so peaceful and calm. There was a lovely sunrise, too.
But it didn’t last long. The wind got up out of the north, gusting up to 50 miles per hour and stirring up the dirt.

Amid tornado outbreak predictions, Atlanta and Jordan decided to spend the afternoon across the creek at his parent’s home where there was a safe room. Unfortunately, the creek rose very quickly in the constant widespread rainfall and they were unable to get across. Thankfully, however, Jeremiah and Jordan devised a safe way to cross by putting a rope across the river to hold on to while walking on the fallen tree bridge. The tornadoes stayed just south of their area and they were able to go home in the evening.

A short nature walk in the woods behind Atlanta’s house produces some amazing photos.
