Yellow-Throated Warbler

For the last thee or four years, this little bird has stopped by for just a couple of days each Spring.  Luckily I saw it last evening.  Here a few different poses.  Unfortunately it was getting dark and had been raining, so the pictures aren't as bright or as sharp as I would like....I just felt happy to get some pictures.

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!

And What to My Wondering Eyes Should Appear--A Bluebird!

Since I started taking pictures of birds, I have never seen a Bluebird at one of my feeders.  Many years ago we had a bluebird family make a nest in our bluebird box, and I have seen them elsewhere around Fort Wayne, but not here.

We had been traveling last weekend, so I didn't even have my camera set up.  The light wasn't the greatest either, so I did have to adjust the pictures a little.  But seeing the little guy below, made my day!



More Snow!!!!

We awoke this morning to more blowing and drifting snow.  When I went out to fill the feeders all was still except for the chirping of one bird.  Within a minute the little guys and gals were swooping in from all directions.

These Finch were among the first to arrive.  It must have been a long cold night for them.

Then the sweetest thing happaned....

Feeder Frustrations

Snow or Not -- Where's the Food?

What a face....Maybe the food wasn't fresh enough!

Wow!  Look at that Beak!  Oh!  I guess it is a sunflower seed.

Hey Lady,  the squirrels ate all our food again!

Those green things really don't taste that good!

I'm getting really tired of waiting on those two guys to give me a turn.  I've been hanging on here at least a half hour...Why do guys think they need to go first?  The next time they chase me off I'm going to tell them just what I think!
