Bird themed tablescape

I hear a Mockingbird singing away outside.  The sound is very pleasant and makes me smile so why not be inspired and bring the outdoors in?  I gathered several bird books from our bookshelves, a beautiful fresh ivy a friend sent to me with a bird decoration and tiny bird cage to arrange on the dining table.  The simple grouping gives me a sense of satisfaction and another smile.

Hubs and I love watching wildlife out our big windows and when we see a new bird we use the bird identification books to identify and learn all about it.

Recently I spotted a bird I saw last summer perched in the trumpet vines.  He was magnificently colored to match the bright tangerine trumpet blooms.  Boy grand and I looked through the bird books and we believe it may have been a Baltimore Oriole.  Because the bird was gathering bits of string and straw I have hopes it is nesting nearby and we might get to see more of them.  Boy grand is going to help me look for a hanging nest typical of Orioles.  Just another reason to love books!
