For the birds

I love birds, I know some people don't care for them, in fact my friend Heather fears them (seriously!). I am that person you see in the park or on the trail with a handfull of seed trying to lure a chickadee to my paw (and it happens, they are very brave little birds...or just really hungry). While I prefer real birds to bird "things", these are pretty awesome little bird sculptures by Emily Sutton, and you can see more of them here.

Juncos Abound!

This morning I woke up to a flock of sweet little dark-eyed juncos eating all the seeds from one of the feeders that had fallen in the snow. Seems the squirrels figured out how to climb up the pergola and they make a damn mess of the seeds, however - they did spread it all over the very high snow enabling all the sweet birdies to gather and be my morning scene.
We recently added more bird feeders and it's amazing how fast they find the food sources! And the cats just love to hang out at the window nearly twitching while watching all the birds they most certainly cannot devour.
