As the title says, we have found a gift from the birdies. It actually sprouted up in a lily pot, which was near the mother tree.
We have concluded that this is a baby guava tree. (It's the only plant around with the same kind of leaves.)
It is available for adoption, eventually I may find myself with a huge potted thing and that's kind of a hassle to deal with.
Speaking of birds, the feeders in the yard have been popular.
Doves may be ground birds a lot of the time, but these ones have figured out the hanging feeders. Sometimes there are as many as four doves on one feeder.
On occasion we have seen house sparrows load up with a mouthful of seeds and head to their nest.
There is no picture available--cell phones are only up to a certain amount of nature photography--but we think there is a mason bee building her little nest in a small knot hole in the cable-reel table. She has gone down inside of it, flown around it, and cleaned out bits of straw and suchlike, right in front of us as we sat at the table. I think I should maybe buy one of those mason bee houses and hang it in a nearby tree so we can have more of them to come around when the avocado tree blooms.
