WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[motojobobo]

Great stuff @Matt . Are you checking daily on them? Are they one day old hatchlings?

[Matt]

Yes and yes.  The mom is still cautious of us but has gotten to the point where she will come back when we’re sitting under the canopy and we can watch her feed them. Sudden movements spook her so no pics unfortunately.

Great post @Matt !

Hope you get to see their first flight attempt. I’ve never seen those first lessons with hummingbirds. With most birds it is reduced to a a jump off a perch, a few wing flaps, followed by a rough glide and landing. Can’t imagine how hummingbirds do it…seems that if they aren’t able to get their wings whirring at the first go, they will go down like a little rock!

Let us know how it goes.

[Matt]

We’re keeping an eye out.

The wife wasn't that delighted the whole neighborhood usually can hear it when she sees a snake in the garden… although they are harmless, just a grass snake

Not if you're a frog

It is a viscerally intimidating thing if you don't know your snakes so I get her reaction. I bet you chuckle every time

Well yes  but you got to know that venomous snakes are very very rare in Austria and none in our area. We once had a 2 metre grass snake lying on the lawn for a whole day trying to get a huge toad three times as big as her head into her mouth… guess who didn't leave the houes the whole day
