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!

"HE" Did Come Back!

A couple of weeks ago I had a post about

a female Red-breasted Grosbeak,

and had indicated that I had not seen

any males this year.

Well look who is waiting to get a chance at the feeder!

This little Chipping Sparrow usually feeds on the ground

but apparently took a chance and flew up to the feeder,

and wasn't about to give up her spot.

Mr. Red-Breasted Grosbeak finally got

his chance to eat.

Is there anything good up there?

However, not everyone made him feel welcome--

Especially not this Downy woodpecker.

Finally he had his chance.

I have seen him a couple of times since.

This momma Robin has also been visiting my backyard lately.

Usually I see Robins in my front yard but not in the back.

Maybe she has a bunch of hungry mouths to feed

and decided to see why all the other birds like the backyard.
