Three Snow Days - Great for Bird Watching
 |
| We've had so much fun lately bird watching in our yard. Sharing the feeder - very unusual for the tufted titmouse, who seems very nervous at the feeders. This is our newest feeder we got on half price sale at Ace recently. No squirrels have even attempted it. |
 |
| The gold finch at peace - whenever on the thistle feeders they have a lot of competition. |
 |
| It's so nice having the finches in our yard - by the dozens literally. We waited for them for years. Seems moving the thistle feeders from the back deck to the side yard by the trees and rock garden made the difference, as well as cleaning out the old thistle and putting in fresh. |
 |
| Almost lost that sunflower seed - see it hanging out of his beak? |
 |
| A cute little junco eating the thistle droppings that show up better on the snow! |
 |
| This brown thrasher is big compared to most of our visitors. |
 |
| Colorful little purple finch caught munching! |
 |
| These black capped chickadees are so cute and will peacefully perch on the feeder just outside our window for a long time. |
 |
| Lonely little mourning dove |
 |
| Carrie, what kind of sparrow is this? |
 |
| We have yet to get a good picture of our woodpecker. He's always behind branches or the suet feeder. |
 |
| Ya' don't say! |
 |
| What our yard looked like this morning. More snow is in the forecast for tomorrow - up to 6 inches! |
 |
| Poor snowy Casita. . . needs a blanket or roof over its head we think. More money :( |
 |
| We're burning up a lot of wood this winter, but not around the fire pit. |
 |
| Just chillin' |
 |
| Nice pose Mrs. Cardinal |
 |
| Randy caught him before he flew for a nice change! |
 |
| We seldom have blue birds in our yard but somebody told them we have some tasty feed out apparently. So beautiful. |
