The first bird of the day doing his morning zoomies across the lawn. πŸ¦†πŸ’¨ Nothing like a speedy mallard to start the day. #MorningBirds #DuckLife #NatureVibes #GoodMorning

Tiny metallic green sweat bee covered in chicory pollen this morning. πŸ’™πŸ Chicory feeds native pollinators, blooming through summer heat, and opening fresh blue flowers each day. #NativePlants #PollinatorGarden #Chicory #SweatBee #MacroPhotography

Northern Flicker early this morning, showing off those stunning spots and that signature red nape. It usually hunts the back fields as part ground forager, part tree drummer. #NorthernFlicker #Birdwatching #BackyardBirds #BirdBaths #WildlifePhotography

Blue Flax (Linum lewisii) in full bloom! This perennial was used by Native American tribes for cordage, baskets, fishing nets & snowshoes. Historically used in poultices for swellings, eye washes & digestive relief. #BlueFlax #NativePlants #WildEdibles

I hope he finds a mate soon. This Red-Bellied Woodpecker has been hammering away on our gutters every single morning. Nature’s loudest alarm clock! πŸͺ΅πŸ¦ #BirdWatching #Woodpecker

Had I known this was a Mockingbirds nest earlier I would have removed it. They built beside Tree Swallows and have affected her taking care of her babies. She hasn't been to the nest all day so likely last baby will die.

Sad update from the nest. We're now down to just one Tree Swallow left to fledge. The other baby stopped moving today, so I removed it as soon as I saw it wasn't breathing. πŸ˜” #TreeSwallow #BirdWatching #NaturalSelection
