Nerdy confession time-
I really like bird-watching.
I mean, I really, really like bird watching. They fascinate me. I could spend an afternoon in a chair by my French doors leading to the backyard, camera in hand, endlessly watching them fly from one tree to another. The hubby and I have acquired 2 bird feeders (and 1 one squirrel feeder that's now a woodpecker feeder) thus far, and I think it's just the beginning. I'm so excited to get some birdhouses in the spring to try and attract some nesting families.
Are you snickering at me yet? Probably, but that's ok. I'm ok with my avian love. On that note, yes, I've taken lots of pictures of those flying, feathered creatures in my backyard. In the snow no less!

| This is my squirrel feeder that now appears to be a woodpecker feeder. This is the female woodpecker at her claimed meal spot. She loves banging away on it. |
 |
| This is Woody, the male woodpecker.. He's never far from the house, you can always here him when you go outside. He's the loudest woodpecker I've ever known. |
 |
| A fat little bluejay. |
 |
| The female woodpecker likes the other feeders as well. |

 |
| I just love male cardinals. |

| I found the female woodpecker's hiding spot! |

| She's a crafty one :) |
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! We've still got inches of snow on the ground (although not nearly as much my loved ones in Oregon who have received
13 inches of snow in the last couple of days!), which I'm not loving. Our private lane is packed hard with ice, making it hard to get out of the house. The roads are clear
if we can get off our private lane, which takes some effort. There's also a chance of more snow in the forecast. I bet you can guess what we're doing today... That's right! Hunkering down and watching movies!
Are we the most exciting couple ever or what?
Happy Sunday friends!
Oh my - I'm not laughing at you - I'm thrilled to find someone else who loves birds (mostly pictures of birds) too! When I was your age - I never could sit still long enough to enjoy watching the beautiful birds in my backyard. I would LOVE to share your pictures one at a time on my FB page. Do you put yours on? I will have to go look. My followers over there look forward to my bird picture per day.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! I'm still working on the FB page, but I did go and share them this morning. I'm going to have to look for your bird pictures now!
