Seeing more of Spring

Red buds are another sign that spring has sprung.  I wish they would stay pretty purple all summer long though...

Poor birdy

Windows on one side of our house have a wicked reflection of nearby trees.  This, I think, causes birds to fly into the window because they think they're flying into trees.  They are in fact flying at least 100mph into my dining room windows.  Needless to say, they are a little stunned after doing so.  They say cats have 9 lives... I think birds do too!  This little guy laid on the ground for a good 15 minutes before his daze wore off and he flew away.

OH BOY!

We've seperated the chicken run and built a new ramp for the little chicks.  They need to get a little bit bigger before they can go out and free-range with the ladies.  Today is their first day outside.  The first outside are of course the Barred Rocks... they fear nothing....

And after quite a while, an Americana finally came out...

And finally, the most skitterish of all, a Buff Orphington came out...
