Well...actually...I provide the seeds...and they entertain me!
And the grands see to it that I keep the feeder loaded. I have no idea what kind of birds they are...and have to photograph them from the safety of my kitchen...as they are rather skittish.
May you all find much to sing about this lovely spring weekend! As for me...I have hills to climb...concerts to attend...friends to meet...and a lawn that needs mowing.
ETA... Thanks to Marian for identifying my mystery bird. It is a western meadowlark.
Have you determined what kind of bird yet? Probably your little birdfeeder fillers can help with research. You've captured them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteHave great fun with all your activities, including the lawn.
Arent they unusual? Certainly not a breed that we have here.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your bird shots! Seems the prettier the bird the more skittish they are!! I'm thinking about taking all the screens off my windows and having the windows washed so I can take better pictures out of them LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on the hills etc.
What pretty birds! Are they some sort of Finch?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you have a rich and busy weekend ahead of you - have a wonderful one no matter what you're doing!
You've got a western meadowlark visiting! Send him my way! Upper Prairie Road, I'd love to see them!
ReplyDeleteAlways singing about something.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot with that open mouth...
PS, I hope you have that new lawn mower to cut your acres of grass.
ReplyDeleteI too have been watching the birds at our feeder from my kitchen window. Love your photos. Sounds like you are on the move today...with fun things to add to the weekend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds. Don't you wish you could sing your heart out all day long the way they do?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Well now - I thought that was a meadowlark - and we don't even have them here. My brother is an avid birder - and I'm learning to be one. Their morning songs make me so happy! I'm always trying to sneak pictures of them. One of my happiest bird experiences was having a chickadee land on my hand to eat seed.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots at the old Bird Feeder!
ReplyDeleteI love that a fellow blogger is willing to fill in the blanks for you, I had no idea what kind of bird that was either.
I love to listen to the birds chirping around the birdfeeder when I am in the kitchen. They keep me company. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your busy weekend!
I remember Meadowlarks from when I was growing up in Ontario. Maybe they weren't the "Western" variety but they looked the same.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Palm Springs, we had bright yellow Orioles warbling us awake every morning. I love it!
Beautiful bird shots you captured from the safety of your kitchen. It sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI never saw the type of birds that visit your feeder. Like I mentioned on my blog last winter, the bird feeder thing is becoming an enjoyment to me too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy and fun weekend. Hope you take some pictures.
I haven't had any meadow lark visit yet this year. .just the typical finch, robins . .crows. .lots of crows and sea gulls.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you have a very fun weekend ahead. . enjoy.
Judy, love the photos of your bird...I have seen it at our house too .. but never got a good photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's a meadow lark, as someone has noted.
I loved the 'visiting' friends part of your day your day yesterday... BIG SMILE... and I'm enjoying tulips on my table!
I love watching birds..you got some really good shots, Judy.
ReplyDeleteHave a 'tweet' weekend:)
Oh meadowlarks, I love their song!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed. My favorite bird song.
Your bird pictures are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to capture them sitting still.
What wonderful pictures...I have never seen a western meadowlark...Majestic looking....I love watching birds at our feeders outside the kitchen window. We have been blessed with seeing Eastern Bluebirds coming to the feeder for 2 years now...What a blessing to see those beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures. And the words.
