Protect and Feed

Mama's everywhere are protective.  Especially in the animal (and bird) world.  A little bird decided to rest for a bit near the birdhouses.

Unwelcome Visitor

 As the mama came back with food, it took off after the unwelcome visitor and chased it away.  I've seen birds take after each other before but I have to wonder if they would ever do any real harm?

Bird fight

 It absolutely amazes me when I see them grab onto the front of the plastic gourd and stick their heads inside to feed the babies.  They have so much natural born skill.

I'm here open up!

 God has created these beautiful Purple Martins.  If he cares that much for them, how much more does he care for us?

Don't fight over the food

 It is nothing while watching the Purple Martins to see one one bird feeding while another one lands on top with more food in it's mouth.  Most of these houses have three to five baby birds inside.

Don't rock the gourd
