Not More Snow!!

Do you remember the Nursery Rhyme about
Robin Redbreast? 

" The North wind doth blow, and we shall have snow,
and what will poor Robin do then?" 

Just this morning I saw this slightly plump Robin in our backyard.  Tonight they say we may have some snow.



I guess "He'll sit in the barn, and keep him (or her) self warm, and hid his head under his wing."

Remember my bluebird.....I saw a pair for about five days in a row, but haven't seen them since.  Fortunately I did take a few more pictures.  Here he is checking out the suet.



From the look on his face, I guess he didn't like it!


I hope he comes back...I bought him some mealworms....Maybe that will make him smile!

I see you've been visiting my blog, and I thank you for that, and your kind comments. Thought I'd pop over and visit yours! I believe I'll be coming back - you've done a nice job with it. Nice photos too!

Dear Janice,

But I bet YOU were smiling! My heart would race at the sight of such a beautiful bird. I've never seen one in person. Thanks for sharing! These are amazing shots.

PS He does look a little grumpy. I thought birds loved suet!

Hugs,

Ooh, this reminds me that I need to start putting mealworms out again. Lovely shots!

I would say the mealworms have made him very happy. Most of our Bluebird houses have Tree Swallows in them, but we still have Bluebirds too.
