While the females are nesting the males are out and about protecting the territory. I do know where the one nest is under our deck but I don't know where the other one is located.
I should have marked the calendar when I first saw her in the nest. She isn't too frightened from me most of the time but once in a while she flys out and plays wounded so I will follow her.
The Asiatic lilies are a tough breed that survive our winters easily. There shapes are so similar to daylilies and yet their stems are so different.
The goldfinch own this feeder now. I could stop right now writing and take more pictures. I really don't need hundreds of photos of them. It is so nice they finally discovered the feeder as I have not seen the past two months.
The zinnias are growing quickly now and they will fill in that whole are soon. I think they are taller now than when I took this photo. I bet I will see buds pretty soon. The glads to the left are strong looking but there is no indication that they will bloom. i suppose they would just surprise me when the start developing stems off of the leaves.
The front yard was mowed by me this morning and part of the back too. I will finish the back yard on another day. We are having a pleasant day so far and it is going to warm up enough that we won't want to be out in it. Thanks for stopping by today.

WE have a Robin nesting also...on a ladder next to the garage. There is a shelf for them but they like the ladder. Your Zinnias look good!
