In Spring...

The quote... In spring, a young man's fancy turns to love. In spring, sex is everywhere. In spring, we get to enjoy the show we see outside our little deck.

This little couple has made their home (as they did last year) in the street lamp. Yes, IN the street lamp. Each morning, he (we assume it's the male of the pair) wakes up and sings... loudly! These little creatures are up by about 4:30 a.m. and that street lamp is almost directly in front of our building. Needless to say, we really don't need the alarm clock at this time of year.

In the second picture, you can just make out the body of one of the pair. He, or she, is just entering their "suite"; this little bird must be sitting on a nest because it didn't come out again for quite some time.

I love watching "the neighbours"!
