  6. Loving the bird pics!! I always watch for the cardinals, they will be here next month! One year I did not get the feeders out quick enough and I was scolded severely by one of the cardinals. He was not happy until I got that feeder out!!!

  7. I woke up early and am doing a nebulizer treatment before I head back to bed... but I just heard on the early news that your region is getting pummeled with a blizzard. I know you've put by so I'll say, stay snug!

  10. Oh I wish I could have feeders up but the squirrels destroy them!! This spring I am going to plant some 'natural' food sources...berry bushes...because I so miss the birds....but I have enjoyed viewing yours ;)

  11. I've been lax with the bird pics too. Dirty windows and annoying reflections haven't helped. You've just reminded me that I need to refill my feeders . . . off I go.

  15. Incredible photos! I have some sparrows and chickidees, an occasional downy and the resident magpies. The 'pies are my very favorite. Crows and ravens pass by.

  20. the blackbirds are beginning to descend on texas. *sigh* we still have goldfinches here for now.

  21. your bird shots have inspired me to get out a bird feeder this winter. Great set of shots.

  23. The goldfinches and house finches that throng at my three feeders have been hanging on for dear life in the awful wind we've had--and are still having. The juncoes are smart to stay on the ground and work on sunflower seeds that blow from above. (Wish I could capture some great images such as yours!)

  24. Beautiful as usual! I don't have a good spot for feeders but I have a friend who has many. After looking at your shots, I believe I have to stake out a spot in her yard.

  25. Great shots and like how you edited them. Although I'm not in my Philly home, we were seeing a lot of
    cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers (hairy and red-bellied) finches and sparrows and of course the doves. Occasionally the hawk would stop by looking for a meal! Have a great weekend Nancy!

  26. What sweet little birds! I keep thinking I should get a feeder or two just for the photo ops! ;)
    I hope you guys are staying warm up there!

  27. So beautiful! I love those cute little birds. I've been seeing so many birds lately. Lots of woodpeckers and saw a blue jay this morning.

  30. Great shots all, Nancy, but my favorite is #1. Just love the pop of the orange. Nicely done.

  31. We have been seeing tons of house finches, woodpeckers, titmice, cardinals, nuthatches and a few falcons perching nearby!!! Merry Christmas Nancy to you and yours (that included the dogs too!!!)...:)JP

  32. I have no bird feeders yet.
    I am afraid of what my cat is thinking about it..

    Great shots, dear!!!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Great shots! Unfortunately, I don't have any bird feeders in my yard, but on my daily walks in the morning I see lots of Grackles. I love those birds. We also get a lot of them in our yard, they like to splash around in our Jacuzzi.

    Merry Christmas!
    Capture life,
    Kathy

  34. Such beautiful, lovely little gems these (and all birds) are. What would our world be like without them? I can't imagine...

    ReplyDelete

  39. Love seeing the different birds at your feeder. All I see are sparrows and some blue jays on the ground.
    Have a wonderful Christmas, my friend.

  40. House finches, an assortment of sparrows: song, white-throated and house, cardinals (4 males showed up at once, recently!), a red-breasted nuthatch is a new visitor this year, Carolina wrens and chickadees, downy woodpeckers, warblers, mourning doves--it's been quite busy here. We used to have a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers, but I've not seen them yet this year.

    ReplyDelete

  41. Great shots! We're not seeing any birds around here! Well, a few doves and Mexican Jays hiding in the woods, but they won't come to the feeder. Makes me sad!

    ReplyDelete

  42. These are SUPER - but i LOVE LOVE LOVE the Red-bellied woodpecker with the pine cone in front of! Just love that shot!!

    ReplyDelete

  43. Great shots love them all, here we have Blue Tits Sparrow's and the occasional Woodpecker and Ring Necked Dove , Chaffinch, and Blackbirds.

    I see the Wood Pecker is also a visitor here across the Pond also.
    Best Wishes
