The hummingbirds showed up about a week ago - sure sign that nice weather
really is on the way. We seem to have 4 different ones this year so far. Usually I think I only have one or two.
My favorites as far as personality goes - The Gray Jays.
Juncos
A really wet junco. Isn't this adorable?
Towhee
I need help here - not sure what this one is. It looks blue but I'm sure it's gray.
A song sparrow just singing her little heart out. They are the only birds I really can recognize their song and I just love when they sing to me.
Mourning Dove - she sat here for an hour I'm sure.
Robin
Here's trouble . . .
Munchin' on some bird seed.
Inside for some suet.
Sometimes it's hilarious because she sits in it and her little feet get greasy and she slides down the pole and sometimes she even falls. Oh to be ready and videotape it.
Now she thinks she's queen of the mountain.
What's this? A twig off of the ground?
Why that little witch is eating our rose bush. She's gone before I can even get the door open to let her have it!!!
Yup that's exactly what she's eating! Busted big time . . .

The little witch is adorable even if she's very bad. lol I love the picture of the song sparrow pronouncing to the world that the suet cake is his.
ReplyDeleteCute birds, great shots!
ReplyDeleteSunny greetings.
Great pictures! I so enjoyed this post, you made me laugh. Love the wet junco. I haven't seen towhees or gray jays here, I'll have to watch for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these.
You have an amazing variety of birds visiting your garden. Love the hummingbirds. Such a naughty squirrel, I never knew they liked to eat rose bushes, either.
ReplyDeleteThey can be annoying little creatures too. I love the squirrels but they can make havoc in a garden too. Love all the birds visiting your feeders.
ReplyDeleteI always love the great pictures on your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour birds are so different from the ones we have here in the east. kind of funny. That squirrel is a stinker!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could have more than one type of hummer here...beautiful. Looks like it's time for a BB gun, I ain't kiddin!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great shots of the birds and squirrel! I love that you have so many humming birds visiting.
ReplyDeleteLovely bird pictures. You are such a good photographer. I am sorry the squirrel eats your roses, they don't do that around here:).
ReplyDeleteI love your bird photos! We are getting chickadees but not hummingbirds, they don't come until late April or May. I love birth watching. In fact, I'm about to go to the store to replace my suet for the birds. Your squirrels are funny like ours, they love to steal from the birds, pesky little things but we still love them. I love nature. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteA SUMMER PLACE! How long has this been your theme?

Would you believe I just watched the movie in Los Angeles on the Turner Movie Channel. An incredible blast from the past. But the song has always been a favorite.

ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
Delightful photos of your garden visitors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post Linda! I enjoyed it so much :) Such lovely photos too.
ReplyDeleteI may be a Brit but I know a Nuthatch when I see one ;) at least that is what your mystery bird is called here and beautiful it is too, I would so love to see one in my garden :)
How wonderful to have Humming Birds in the garden... I may have to come and live with you Linda ;)
Hello, Linda. I've been MIA and missing your blog, but now I see you are doing great work! :) Love the hummers... they are the coolest, and yours are gorgeous. Can you believe how they just sit there sometimes? Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great photos!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd better get our hummer feeders out.
