As fall edges up on winter, these are some of the very special guests who have been taking up residence and blooming in my yard:
Cedar Waxwing: (He looks like a masked bandit, to me)
(This is the first time I've ever seen a cedar waxwing, that I know of. I don't recall them ever being in my yard before).
Tufted Titmouse: (He's holding a safflower seed in his beak)
White-Breasted Nuthatch: (Eating hulled and black-oil sunflower seeds)
Bluebird: (ballet on birdbath)
Black Capped Chickadee:
Red-Bellied Woodpecker: (why do they call him that? he's red HEADED, not red bellied!)
Gold Finches and House Finches: (looking like christmas tree ornaments)
Blue Birds and Finches sharing feeder: (MORE Christmas tree ornaments)
Do you think my colorful birds look pretty enough to serve as my blooming flowers this month? I do, and that's why I shared them!
--Today I'm thankful for...all of the birds blooming in my garden:)
