Lots of Goldfinches

A yard full of hungry, thirsty, sometimes mean, sometimes sweet goldfinches...

(and an occasional purple finch)

Cautious Chickadee

I'm sure the little chickadees will be happy when the goldfinches leave.  Goldfinches have been numerous here this winter and they're dominant at the feeders.  They can be downright mean to each other and other small birds.  This cautious chickadee eased into the feeder, grabbed a seed and took off as quickly as possible.  

Goldfinches

I can depend on them to show up every winter.  They arrived a couple of weeks ago and each day it seems there are more of them.  My sunflower seed bill has gone up, but I don't mind.  It's only temporary and I want to keep them full and happy.

Have a wonderful day!

'Tis Spring, Say the Birds

I love the white blooms that spring up on our Cleveland Pear tree during the warm, sunny days of March.  They're the first blooms of the new season and they make a showy prop for bird photos.

The blooms are gone now, replaced by bright green leaves that will

turn darker as spring progresses and summer settles in.

May each of you have a wonderful week.

Time for a Nap

Sometimes all you need is a nap..

"Oh goodness, is it bedtime yet?"

"I could really use an energy bar right now".

"Just a quick little nap and I'll be fine"

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

This little birdie was so tired.   Bless it's heart.

Sometimes nothing else will do.

I can relate, can't you?
