Bickering In The Garden
April 3, 2011 By
We had a bit of a tussle out in the garden. A bluebird was trying to get into one birdhouse, and a chickadee got in its way. We had some ruffled feathers.
It put the bluebird in a pesky mood.
But there is serenity to be found amongst the chaos.
Mama bluebird, not as bright and showy as her male counterpart, can be found checking out new digs. Apparently she is thrifty. As this house says “room for rent cheep.”
What do you think, mama bird? Does the landscaping please you better here?
There’s plenty of watering holes to go around.
The husband seems to like this one better.
Hi Brenda – the bird/house and flower photos are so clear. Loved your ‘story’.

Brenda ~ what sweet little birds. I can hardly wait for mine to come back from the south. Birds make me smile
Happy Sunday
That first shot is amazing!! Love these.
oh my! beautiful photos!
Cool photo Brenda – the first one is amazing!
Brenda, these photos are amazing, I know I could watch the birds in my yard for hours.. Happy Sunday

Brenda, so funny and as always, great photos! Thanks for starting my Sunday with a laugh. It seems the word is out in the Bluebird community that your yard is the place to rent!
Yes, even ‘they’ can get upset! The pics makes this perfectly clear!!lol. Beautiful story.
Luv-Loretta
How cute! I wish we had bluebirds in our backyard. But we do have plenty of chickadees. Love your flowers and perennials! Can’t wait until ours start blooming. TFS!
Oh I soo enjoyed your photos – I’ve never seen either bird.
I must show DH your signs – he builds me birds houses. Very clever!
Love Leanne
Wow beautiful birds and that first shot is amazing
What a lovely garden you have, dee x
Just beautiful! I imagine these birds give you hours of delightful watching!
What fantastic shots Brenda. You really captured the moment.
I adore your bluebird stories. Great pictures!
I am always educated when I read your lovely blog. I didn’t know there was a bird called a chickadee.
You are so lucky to have these stunning birds in you garden, even if they are after ‘cheep’ rent. I particularly love the blue birds.

Those are some amazing pictures Brenda. Can you let me know what lens you’re using. I think it’s time for an upgrade for me!
What wonderful photographs – fantastic!

Perfect shots Brenda!!!
Love the colour of these birds!
Brenda, those bluebird photos are fabulous!! Great shots.
Thank you for your comment today. Blessings ~ Tanna
Your photos are so great, you really have a nack for capturing the action.
Bluebirds are my most favorite birds. Enjoy them in your yard!

I’m trying to keep the green eyed monster at bay, but I am bordering on being SO jealous! haha Here in New England we’ll be lucky if the hostas poke out of the ground by August! But seriously, those are fantastic photos. Your garden and patio are just as cozy as inside your home. You have a gift, for sure!… Donna
Beautiful photos Brenda, I can’t get over the intensity of the colour of the male bluebird. They must be a joy to watch.
Bib wow on those photos! Amazing how you caught the Bluebird in flight in that position! Fabulous job! The blue on the male is fantastic! I still have snow on the ground it will be a month before I see this kind of growth from the Hostas…lovely!
Great shots Brenda. We are seeing signs of spring in our garden, finally!
i came upon two robins fighting earlier in the week. it is amazing to watch that even animals hold grudges.
great shots
What absolutely gorgeous pictures. The bluebirds are beautiful, aren’t they? A few weeks ago when I was so sick and so worried, I looked out on our deck and there sat these two sweet & lovely bluebirds. I have thought several times that they were sent there by God to tell me He was with me and things were going to be OK! Keep those beautiful pictures coming!
Oh my goodness Brenda! These are fantastic shots. I love that blue bird and the shot of him floating. Awesome!

That shot of the bird in air is GREAT! My mom was telling me today that she saw a showdown between a bluebird and a chickadee in her yard–the CHICKADEE won!
You just never know. And don’t the husbands always go for the house with less “charm”?
I love love love these images – the fresh green, the newness! We are actually still even getting snow here (sad!) So thank you for sharing the snippets of spring!
Great photos! It is that time of the year for all the little birdies to be building their nests. It is amazing to me how they can build in the branches of trees and remain relatively safe through all the crazy weather. So nice that you have provided them safe shelter.
I sure wish my body felt like it was young! Lot of aches and pains going on. Another dreary dusty day so lots of crafting going on. It is easy to get so much done when there are no other obligations.
Have a great week.

Cute birds…
I love how you put together words and images perfectly:)
I LOVE all your great photos. The birds are beautiful and I love the Room for Rent Cheep…:)
Your plants and flowers look amazing. We have nothing that lovely here yet. We had such a terrible wind and sand storm yesterday, I could barely stand up out there. Had 3 softball games to watch and every time we got up out of our camp chairs, they almost blew away….terrible day. Spring in West Texas isn’t very nice. I would rather skip it and fall right into summer.:)
Amazing photography. You rock, Brenda.
Brenda,
I’ve said it before and again, you take some amazing beautiful photo’s with your camera.
