Where the Birds Gather


Birds gather in our berry laden bush.
They wait there because the bird feeder is very close by.
the Blue Jays are bold and noisy.


Cardinals are timid.... 


....but patient.


When the coast is clear
they dart towards the feeder.


The Junko family is always hopping beneath for fallen seeds.

  3. Lovely winter pictures! I saw a robin yesterday and warned him of our very unusual, very low temperatures to come that night. I hope he was listening.

  5. I find it odd that our blue jays come to the feeder in the spring and the fall but never see them during the winter. I know they do come to other feeders in the area during the cold, but for some reason they avoid ours. We buy the 'good' seed too and it has lots of the things they like best, so don't know what the reason is. We never see cardinals at our feeders either...this part of town doesn't seem to have them. Juncos are rare too. We do have lots of mourning doves and chickadees, a pair of nuthatches and a pair of woodpeckers that keep me amused.
