First Day Of Summer

I decided to celebrate the first day of summer by mowing. Real fun! But, it needed to be done. I was just about to finish up when I looked up and a Swallow-tailed Kite flew by. He was low, just over the treetops. I saw him for about five seconds and he disappeared. Then he came back and flew closer to me just over the treetops. He gave me several seconds of great looks at him this time. What a beautiful bird!

There isn't much to report. I haven't had time to go birding on the property. The baby bluebirds continue to grow. I will post some pictures soon. They are 13 days old today. They should fledge today or tomorrow. If they all make it, we'll have six new bluebirds in the world out of that box. I still see the young from the first brood flying around occasionally.
