Oh, I love these shots! We put out our birdfeeder only around Christmas and we haven't had any visitors yet, despite me cleaning it off after each snowfall. I do love the cardinals in particular. The bluejays are colorful but they tend to scare off the little ones.
o a mourning dove! makes my heart flutter, my name means white dove! just wanted to say thankyou for your lovely comment & good luck in the drawing. Seeing that i dont have a bubby & im sure there's some1 out there to whom those precious lil booties etc will be a hearts delight i didnt want to take away their opportunity by commenting on the OWOH, but just wanted to say hello with a heart full of gratitude!
It's Camera Critters time again. We've gone from the zoo (last week) back to our own back yard this week. These pictures were all taken earlier in the year and perhaps last year. At any rate, before Hurricane Ike. Seems like we are dating everything BI (before Ike) or AI (after Ike). I am pleased to report that all our bird friends made it through the storm and are back in our backyard at feeding time.

We were out working in another area of our postage stamp backyard and were late feeding. Normally, we do not feed on the ground, but the birds were in such a hurry and making such a racket that we tossed seed wherever!

Love the birds! I have a ton of feeders out & love watching so many different ones coming in to feed.

I love the Cardinals and I think the Blue Jays are beautiful, even if they do chase other birds away from feeders. :-)
