Wow! My mom and I were just talking about how we hear and see more birds than usual this year. Wonder if they will return earlier because of our warm winter?
I watched birds all day yesterday, even fed the jays peanuts, but I saw nothing quite that colorful and unusual! The robins have come back in droves. They chirp and eat in the juniper bushes outside my office. They charm me.
That is so beautiful! The colors are so vibrant. They add a lot of cheer to our wintery days.
I have to remember to get my bird feeder back out. Actually – I have to remember to tell my hubby to do it. He is in charge of all things in my basement.
love! I tried all afternoon to take a photo of the woodpecker who visits my friend’s feeder, but every time I got my camera on and started to focus he’d fly off. this is a great shot!!
I’ve never seen that type of woodpecker before. We get hairy, downy and sometimes pileated woodpeckers at our feeder in Northern Ontario. Don’t you love the name ‘woodpecker’?

Kym Said,
Great shot! I love woodpeckers. Except when they peck on my cedar-sided house. Which is too much of the time, actually.
Jeannie Said,

Seanna Lea Said,
I love the color. I’m not that versed in bird identification, but the crown is so magnificent that all I want to do is stare at him.

Most beautiful bird and photo alike
