is for Bountiful Birds
a Bevy of Beauty
a Bonanza of Bridd
We returned home Friday afternoon (Jan. 22, 2010),
after having been gone for a few days.
We found...
Lots of ICE ... (Check out our driveway!)
... and hungry Birds.
Click on any of the photos below.
Most enlarge somewhat.
American Goldfinches on the left and a Common Flicker on the right.

For most of the day, Saturday, it rained.
On Sunday we could see the grass!
More Birds - photos taken Sunday, January 24, 2010.
Again, left to right, American Goldfinch, Purple (female) Finch, A. Goldfinch
Is it not a wonder how these little birds can crack open shells, and eat the seeds without losing the "goodie?"
Purple (male) finch
Purple (female) Finch (so cute?)
"Hey! What does a fellow have to do to get in on the grub around here?"
(I heard the chickadee say, quite plainly!)
The same sentiments were echoed by the Red-bellied Woodpecker,
not more than a few minutes later. :-)
This next photo was taken January 6, 2010.
It's a female Northern Cardinal
at the
Birdbath.
A veritable Battery of Birds in and around their Bathtub and Beyond!
B is for Birdhouse
The photo below was taken May 18, 2009,
shortly after it was put in the Sunny Corner Garden Bed.
Monday (1/24/10) I walked past the living room...
More SNOW! Actually, I'm relieved.
We're supposed to have snow at this time of year.
It's beautiful and I love to watch it fall.
(esp. if you don't have to travel far!)
The same Birdhouse, as taken from the kitchen window
at 8:00 A.M. Monday, Jan. 24.
The photo below was taken December 31, 2009:
Bluebirds
in Barbie's (one of my sisters) tree!
The tree is now 2 1/2 years old. Isn't it great that it's being used?
:-)
Best Wishes for the day!
Nothing shady here, besides a few shifting shadows.
