Is that a Spring Robin I see up in the tree?
Had to share the goldfinches new feeder. One time I counted ten birds at once. This is going to be fun!
Lots going on weather wise in our area today. Every time I check to see what the forecasters are saying, they have changed their predictions. the birds must know something because they have just about emptied all the feeders.
I noticed this little goldfinch is starting to get his golden feathers.
Don't tell Mark, but I saw someone other than a cardinal on the cardinal feeder.
Even the snowdrops are having a hard time with all this mess.
But I have to tell you that I am still doing the Snow dance!
So my friend, Denise came over to the crazy house to take shots of the birds in the backyard. We have all the common ones while she has Bluebirds. The kids usually sleep all afternoon. But not today, wouldn't you know. While she was shooting and I was running back and forth filling cups and changing diapers. She was able to get a few...not as many as she would have liked I don't think. I always learn something from her when I am with her. That day I learned that when I am shooting birds I should get their eyes...and if I am really lucky, I should get them with a white dot in the center of their eye. So today while everyone napped, I shot Starlings. I'd like to shoot them with something else!
The official measurement of our latest storm...4 1/2 inches on top of probably 3 inches of frozen snow and ice.
Taking cover in the Burning bush.
Stretching to get some food.
...me and my shadow...
Cracking open a peanut.
Taking off
This new feeder is driving the squirrels nuts! They can climb all over it but can't get any seeds. Really fun to watch!
