Saturday Critters

These first gorgeous days of spring have brought many  wonderful critters to my house!!!This morning I'm  sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters party.  Now we  are happy to    declare that we have many return visitors everyday...  One of the most friendly visitors is this  handsome redhead woodpecker and his  mate,, but she has been less frequent!


The Chickadee  stops in several times a day!



The majestic cardinal still  comes and watches over his dear love as she approaches the feeders each time!



 The Carolina wren  is an early riser and  visits everyday!!
We are both thrilled to host  a family of bluebirds






And this week we have  some new favorites..
Firstly, my mourning doves have taken up residence nearby and oh, how we love their morning songs!

Another  songbird I  absolutely adore is the white throated sparrow!!!!.We had  a couple foraging this week and  their air has been filled with their song!

Easily recognized by their yellow bars across the head and white throat!  And their songs are  right outside the window these days
A couple other new friends  who visited  just yesterday were this pair of field sparrows..They rested there for quite a while .. maybe they were just passing through!
and lastly,  last evening  I looked out at this handsome pair of cowbirds.. Their  iridescent  green, teal, black backs   and  bronze heads gave them away right away!

The color in the sun was quite dazzling  not captured on film!
Of course, no post would be complete without our  non-  feathered "friends"...
 This little scamp is so  ingenious  ..  slinkies, nor  hot peppered  greased poles deter him!

  2. You have many of the same birds that I do. I wish I had cardinals, but sadly I live to far North. I do love their song. The mourning doves bring me happiness and peace. We see cowbirds later in the summer. They hitch a ride on the deer's back. It always looks like are picking off ticks, and chasing away flies. After a bear destroyed my feeding station last summer I have to come up with a new plan to feed the birds. Fortunately, I still have time. We received 8 inches of snow Friday night. With more to come tomorrow.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
